Applications are first-come, first-serve and you can apply online in 10 minutes or less.

  1. Complete our checklist to confirm your eligibility
    Our Eligibility Checklist consists of just seven criteria. All questions are closed-ended, there are no long-answer fields. You’ll instantly know if you meet our eligibility criteria.
  2. Submit the online grant application
    Eligible organizations create an account to finalize the application.
  3. We’ll review applications in the order that they were received
    This gives us the opportunity to confirm tax-exemption status and finalize eligibility before we proceed.
  4. Receive a formal approval email
    Within 2 weeks of receiving your application, we’ll send you an email letting you know if you were approved. At this point, you will be asked to provide your deposit details.
  5. Complete a simple grant agreement
    Within 2 weeks of receiving your bank information, a simple contract will be sent via Docusign.
  6. Receive rapid payment electronically
    Transfers are initiated on a set schedule twice a month. A completed contract is required prior to distributing funds.
  7. Meetup with the grant Program Officer and other recipients.
    We’ll invite you to meet us for coffee to celebrate your successes and learn how the GO Grant is helping you do your work. We will also serve as a connector and introduce you to other community partners in your region. At the end of the GO Grant cycle, sometime next year, we’ll have a celebratory community gathering with all 25 GO Grant recipients.
