August 2025

The 2025 Council-allocated track grant cycle is no longer accepting applications. Awards are expected this fall.

If you applied through the 2025 Council-allocated track but are not selected for funding, you will automatically be considered for funding for the 2025/26/27 Competitive track grant cycle and you do not need to reapply.

The 2025/26/27 Competitive track grant cycle will be accepting Letters of Intent starting August 19, 2025, with hard deadline of September 30. The Letter of Intent, a short form, is the required first required step in a 2-step application process. Awards for this track are expected in 2026, with projects starting in late 2026/early 2027. Proposals must be submitted online through the grant portal here and you can view the grant timeline to view application process.
