While funding inquiries are welcome year-round, Cowell has a structured process in place for inviting proposals and reviewing prospects. Please review the initial inquiry process below.
- Carefully review Cowell’s Place-based and Program Criteria.
- Contact the Foundation. Send an email to the program assistant for your area of work to schedule a brief phone call:
- For Education and Youth organizations: Lydia Burstyn, burstyn@shcowell.org
- For Families organizations and all other types of inquiries: Brittany Redelfs, redelfs@shcowell.org
During this call, be prepared to describe your organization and its work, in addition to your community. You and a program assistant will determine whether your work aligns with the Foundation’s priorities, at which point you’ll be advised about next steps.
