Upcoming Deadline
The next Small Grants deadline is February 1, 2023 at 11:59 PM, PST **Please note: as of August 8, we are using Submittable as our grantmaking software.** These grants are awarded for general organizational support as well as funding for specific projects. Applications are reviewed three times a year; the deadlines are the 1st of February, June, and October. Grants awarded during a particular cycle will be announced at the beginning of the following cycle.
Sale of Clif Bar & Company to Mondelez
As you may have heard, Clif Bar & Company has agreed to be acquired by Mondelez International. We wish everyone at Clif's headquarters and bakeries continued success as they work to grow the purpose-led business and share the benefits of a Five Aspiration business model with a larger, global audience. Clif Family Foundation is minimally impacted by the sale; we'll carry on with our grantmaking under the direction of our Board, and continue to seek out inspiring nonprofits whose work we're honored to fund.
New Grantmaking Software
Starting August 8, we've launched a new grantmaking platform with Submittable. Going forward, you will need to set up a Submittable account to apply for our grants. As usual, you can access this new portal from our website using the "apply for a grant" links.
We chose Submittable for its many efficiencies and improvements that will help streamline the grants process, including the ability for you to invite your team to collaborate on your application in real time and view status updates.
Please note that our CyberGrants portal is now closed, and no more applications will be accepted there. Those of you who have already applied in CyberGrants for our third grant cycle this year will not need to re-apply.
