Frequently Asked Questions
Quot postea accusata quo et, natum habemus dolores eum ut, pri atomorum oportere ex.
Why was my request to register as a new user declined?
Only users representing eligible organizations are permitted to register. Please see our Grant Guidelines for further clarification. If you failed the eligibility questionnaire in our grants management system, and you think it was in error, please contact applications@bradleyfdn.org.
All new users are verified by our staff. Sometimes, new users attempt to register with an email address that does not match the domain of the organization on whose behalf they are attempting to register. To prevent fraud and safeguard the privacy and security of applicant organizations, we do not allow this. If you are an independent consultant working for an applicant organization, the organization must either create an official email address in your name or arrange for you to access the system using the credentials of a verified user.
My organization is already registered. May we add additional users?
Yes, as long as the additional users are verified employees of your organization.
How do we change our organization’s contact information or remove contacts who are no longer employed at our organization?
Please contact applications@bradleyfdn.org
I have already received grants from The Bradley Foundation. Do I still need to submit a letter of inquiry?
Yes. It is not possible to skip the Letter of Inquiry (LOI) step and go directly to the full application step. Should your LOI be approved, all information entered at the LOI step transfers into the draft application automatically.
Does the Foundation have deadlines for full applications?
Yes. After consulting with many applicants, we have concluded that the clarity and certainty of deadlines benefits both applicants and the Foundation. Thus, we have reinstated deadlines for full applications. Our four quarterly deadlines are listed here.
Are there deadlines for letters of inquiry?
No. The Foundation accepts letters of inquiry (LOI) on an ongoing basis. The Foundation reviews LOIs regularly, but we cannot guarantee an immediate response. Please consider how much time you will need to prepare a full application in advance of the next deadline.
Is it possible to speak to someone on the Foundation’s staff before submitting an application?
Unfortunately, it is not. The Foundation’s staff does not have the capacity to discuss potential projects in advance of the submission of a letter of inquiry or full application.
We often receive the message that a potential applicant would simply like to know in advance whether they should invest time in preparing an application. The letter of inquiry step is designed to for that purpose. It is not onerous and is intended to provide the Foundation with enough information to determine whether a project might fit our program interests. Our full application is also designed to minimize unnecessary work as it provides the applicant with the flexibility to portray the proposed project through uploaded attachments.
