Once you are logged into the system, you will be able to access the 2026 George and Frances Ball Foundation grantmaking process portal. Through this portal, please fill out the short list of questions.
By submitting this form, you are requesting a pre-grant meeting with our staff.
Our staff will respond to your inquiry within one week.

Please note that an invitation to meet with program staff in this manner does not guarantee funding. This applies to all applicants, regardless of the organization's status as a prior or current grantee of the Foundation.
