Review Process
The Board of Directors meets four times a year (Jan., April, July, and Oct.) to award grants. Requests must be received by the 15th of the month prior to the regularly scheduled Board of Directors meeting in order to be considered.
The Foundation seeks to give fair consideration to all legitimate requests for funding. Grants are given to organizations that are located in and/or provide services in the Willow Grove area, defined as Upper Moreland township and all communities, including boroughs in the contiguous townships.
Budget limitations, combined with the large number of requests, make it impossible to provide grants to all organizations seeking support. The Willow Grove Foundation should not be looked upon for annual support.
