FIRST TIME APPLICANTS

Is this your first time submitting a grant proposal application to Tyndale House Foundation?

Here are a few tips to help you along the way.

1. Learn about Us:

Your first step in partnering with Tyndale House Foundation is to determine whether your organization and project align with our grantmaking priorities. We encourage you to read about our priorities here and then use our eligibility assessment tool.

2. Submit a Request for an Account:

If you feel that your organization and project align with ours, the next step is to fill out our online form to request an account in our Grant Application Portal. You can find this on the login page of our Grant Application Portal. You will receive a notification via email when your account is approved or declined. If your account is declined, this means that your organization does not fall within our funding priorities and not likely to receive funds. If your account is approved, please follow the steps outlined in the notification email to set up your online account.

3. Set up a Meeting:

Once your account is set up, it is now time to reach out to Foundation staff to for an introductory meeting. We want to get to know you! We prefer to meet with senior organizational leaders and those who are directly involved in the project for which you are seeking funding. Please email us at [email protected] to request a meeting.

4. Submit your proposal:

Now that your request for an account has been approved and you have met with Foundation staff, you are ready to start working on a grant proposal. Foundation staff are standing by ready to help answer questions and troubleshoot any issues that arise. However, we are not able to review proposals and provide feedback prior to the submission date. Remember to include supporting materials and prayer requests!

5. Wait for confirmation:

After each deadline, proposals go through a three-tiered review process. During this time, Foundation staff may reach out to you for additional information. We are not able to give updates on the status of your proposal until our full review process is complete. As a reminder, if you submit your proposal by the January 2 deadline, you will receive a notification by the end of April. If you submit your proposal by the July 2 deadline, you will receive a notification by the end of October.

6. pray

During the review process, we invite you to pray with us and for us as we evaluate each proposal. We pray for every organization and proposal that is submitted. Please pray for us as we seek wisdom and God’s guidance in our decision making.
