What if I can no longer access my email account?

The email account, and password, you use to access your Turrell Fund application is only used during the grant application windows, for saving and submitting your applications. It is not tied to our long-term records for your organization.

What this means to you: if you cannot access the email account you used to apply in the past, you can create a new account with a different email address.

Do I need to complete my application all at once?

No. Your application is automatically saved every time you make a change. You can return to your in-progress application at any time up up until the submission deadline.

Can I request funding for legislative lobbying?

No. Funds requested cannot go to any form of legislative lobbying. However, if your organization engages in legislative lobbying but the funds you are requesting are not for legislative lobbying, this is permissible.

When are decisions made on the applications?

• For the Spring Cycle, decisions are usually sent out in the second week of May.
• For the Fall Cycle, decisions are usually sent out in the second week of November

My organization is nationwide. Can I apply for funding?

That depends.

If the direct services for the program you are requesting funds for will take place in our catchment area, or your advocacy will directly affect children or families in our catchment area, you may apply for funding.

If your program will not directly affect the children or families in our catchment area, you are not eligible to apply for funds.
