Welcome to the 2024-2025 WEF Grant Application!
Here, you will find a link to the application and the two required forms you must upload. Please note the grant application and scoring rubric have changed. Below is a link to a less than 10-minute video explaining the changes and providing information on what the grant scorers are looking for. After watching the video, please take the required five-question quiz. Successful completion of these five questions will be factored into your application score. If you still have questions after viewing the video, please feel free to contact us or attend our in-person training opportunity on Monday, September 16, 2024, at the Administrative Center (4650 W. Sweetwater) from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. Once the application and forms are submitted, they will be reviewed and scored by a minimum of two foundation members.
