Any US-based organization with 501 (c)(3) tax exempt status is eligible for Red Ribbon funding. Organizations may apply for funding for projects in the local Greenwich, CT catchment area, as well as projects that have a national or international scope. Red Ribbon is less likely to fund programs that operate within a circumscribed area that is not in the tri-state/greater NYC region, i.e., programs operated by a Minnesota nonprofit agency that serve greater Minneapolis. |
The Foundation's Appropriations Committee, comprised of board members, carefully reviews each proposal using standard criteria. These criteria address the proposal's fit with RRF funding priorities, as well as organizational strength and sustainability. The Committee makes recommendations to the RRF Board, which formally selects grantees.

The Foundation will be accepting Letters of Intent in late winter 2011. After these letters have been reviewed, selected organizations will be eligible to submit full proposals responding to RRF's 2011 Request for Proposal. All eligible proposals will be reviewed by the Board Appropriations Committee in the Spring, and decisions will be announced early summer.
