Longwood Foundation Summer Cycle & COVID-19 Q&A Zoom Sessions

To respond further to the growing and urgent need, the Longwood Foundation has decided to run a summer grant cycle (with an application deadline of June 5) to expedite getting funding out to the community for nonprofits with COVID-19 informed plans and needs. The summer cycle will be held in addition to our scheduled fall grant cycle (with the usual application deadline of September 1).

We anticipate these next two cycles will be somewhat different than “typical” Longwood Foundation grant cycles. Additional details will be available in the coming days on this page. In the meantime, most importantly, we are inviting you to one of three upcoming Summer Cycle & COVID-19 Q&A Zoom Sessions with the Longwood Foundation team the week of May 11th. These sessions are primarily intended for organizations considering a grant application in summer or fall 2020. However, anyone interested in the Longwood Foundation’s plans for the remainder of 2020 are invited to join. Participation neither improves nor harms an organization’s likelihood of receiving funding.

Please note that pre-meetings in advance of the application deadlines will not be offered to discuss specific requests, due to the volume anticipated. Therefore, we recommend all organizations considering an application try to attend one of these sessions and review the specific guidelines, to be published by May 20.
