How to apply for Cleveland Foundation grants

Most Cleveland Foundation applications require: an organizational profile with mission and programs, a project proposal aligned with the funder's stated priorities, a project budget, and supporting attachments (IRS determination letter, board list, recent financials). Many private and community foundations require a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) before a full proposal — see our guide below.
