The SITE Foundation is pleased to support SITE Chapters with funding that allows them to continue to fulfill their mission. This grant is intended to support membership growth, quality education, event funding and programming. Supporting professional development within the industry is a key component of the SITE Foundation's Mission.

Chapter grants are intended to create or enhance chapter activities that would not otherwise be possible without additional financial assistance. It is not intended to support chapter activities that already have sufficient funding. Activities should benefit the entire chapter membership.

Funding is limited and is awarded based on chapter need. Applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-serve basis. The maximum amount available to a chapter is $5,000 USD on a calendar year basis.

Grant amounts will be based on financial documentation (e.g., bank statements, invoices, cost estimates) provided with grant application.

  • The chapter will be notified within 14 days of submission. Funds will be awarded up to 14 days after application approval.
