Orientation
Please read our funding guidelines (www.mbird.org/grants/apply) in their entirety before completing this form, which is for submitting initial funding inquiries to the Mockingbird Foundation. and the first step in that process.
Only inquiries submitted here will be considered. Materials sent via any other means will not be considered. Please do not send supplementary materials, and do not add us to your mailing list(s).
You will be contacted via email only if your project is selected for further consideration, at which point you will be invited to submit a full and formal proposal. While we will attempt to acknowledge receipt of your inquiry regardless of whether you are invited to submit a full proposal, that is not likely to happen prior to January 15th, when inquiries close.
Full proposals, if invited, would be invited early Spring and due mid- to late-April. Funding, if granted, will not happen until receipt of a completed grant agreement, which would not be sent until at least 6/15/27.
Please note that line breaks and paragraph breaks will be lost, multiple paragraphs will become a single paragraph, and any attempt to create columns will produce a mess. Finally, your answers are limited to a maximum of 1,000 characters.
