An Important Message for Grant Seekers
Thank you for your interest in the Hudson-Webber Foundation’s grantmaking program and process. As we enter an exciting new chapter for the Foundation, with fresh leadership and evolving funding priorities, we are temporarily pausing our inquiry process for potential grantees. This pause will allow us to focus on re-engaging with our long-standing partners while exploring opportunities to connect with new ones.
If you are currently preparing a submission, please note that the letter of inquiry portal will close on January 31, 2025. This pause is intended to respect the time and effort of community members and grant seekers, as we are not currently accepting new unsolicited funding inquiries.
However, we still welcome conversations with potential new partners. If you believe your work aligns strongly with our mission, we encourage you to complete the following steps to get in contact with our team.
Review the Foundation’s mission areas and grant-making guidelines to determine eligibility and alignment.
Submit a conversation request.
If your organization aligns with the foundation’s program objectives and grant-making policies, the next step is to complete the below form to request a meeting with our team.
Review Procedures
- Foundation Staff will respond to conversation requests as expeditiously as possible, usually within two to three weeks of submission. If there is strong alignment between the organization’s work and the Foundation’s, Foundation Staff will schedule a meeting.
- Following additional discussion and/or information, the Foundation may invite the organization to submit a full grant proposal for funding consideration. At that time, the required contents and timing of a grant proposal will be communicated.
- The Hudson-Webber Foundation reviews grant proposals on a quarterly basis. Please note that the Foundation’s review process can take three to four months between proposal submission and grant award.
Hudsonian Assistance Program
The Foundation also manages the Hudsonian Assistance and Counseling Program to assist eligible former J.L. Hudson Company employees and their dependents with basic needs and support. Eligibility requirements and the application process for the Hudsonian program can be found here.
