GENERAL APPLICATION INFORMATION

• The first step is to submit a Letter of Inquiry (LOI), via email or mail.
• After review of the Letter of Inquiry (LOI), the Funds may request a full Grant Application.
• Submit only one (1) copy of the Grant Application and attachments, including the completed Grant Request Summary Form. Include only those materials specifically requested with your Grant Application.
• Do not send the Grant Application in a binder or folder.
• All inquiries should be directed to the foundation office. Direct communication with individual trustees concerning requests is discouraged.

The Joseph and Harvey Meyerhoff Family Charitable Funds have been making grants for more than five decades. Several of the funds available in the last 25 years were created at the death of family members. These funds have now terminated.

Beginning in 2009, we will have fewer funds available for grant making. Currently, we are evaluating our procedures for future grants.

We will not be accepting any new Letters of Inquiry or Grant Applications until further notice.
