Contributions Program Guidelines
Deadlines & Procedures
Mailing: Applications (original only, no copies) should be mailed to:
Tito Tolentino
Grants Coordinator
Public Relations Department
The Washington Post
1150 15th Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20071
NOTE: Applications cannot be received by FAX
Application Format:
Please do not bind the proposal, insert it in protective sleeves, or prepare
it in other types of notebook form. This kind of presentation only makes
the review process more difficult.
Deadlines: The Washington Post will review request on
a quarterly basis only. Applications must be received
by 5:00 p.m. on:
- March 4, 2008, for the Spring review
- June 3, 2008, for the Summer review
- September 2, 2008, for the Fall
review
- December 2, 2008 for the Winter review
**NOTE: If your proposal is for a specific event and not a general
support funding request, it must be
received prior to the closing dates listed above or it will not be
reviewed.
Notification: Applicants should anticipate a 30
to 60 day processing period for applications. All applicants
will be informed in writing of the decision of the Contributions
Committee following the proposal review.
Because of the volume of
requests received, applicants are discouraged from making telephone
inquiries during the application review process.
Due to budgetary
constraints, we will not be able to approve all historical funded
requests for support. Please be aware that funding decisions
will continue to be consistent with our historical mission of supporting
youth, health and human services and educational initiatives. Strict
adherence to these guidelines will maximize the impact of our charitable
giving program in the metropolitan Washington, DC region.
Although
we appreciate the considerable time and effort involved in preparing
a funding request, unfortunately we are not able to respond favorably
to many of the worthy requests for assistance that we receive.
For
further information, please call (202) 334-7969.
