The Hannon Foundation primarily funds non-profit organizations whose works address the goals of our founder as described in the Foundation’s Mission Statement:
Large grants only are made to institutions and organizations that played an important role in Mr. Hannon's life, and the foundation always keeps his mission and legacy in mind when awarding grants.
For news related to previous awardees, see: http://www.hannonfoundation.org/newsandreleases.php
The Hannon Foundation asks that all requests for support be submitted in writing. So that we can direct our resources into gift giving, we do not have a staff size that is capable of fielding a large volume of phone calls for grant requests.
The Hannon Foundation considers grant requests in writing only. Grant proposals are considered at each quarterly Board of Directors’ Meeting. Request letters should be received by August 1 for the September meeting; November 1 for the December meeting; February 1 for the March meeting; or May 1 for the June meeting. Applicants will be notified of the decision in writing within thirty days of the quarterly Board Meeting. Site visits may be a part of our evaluation process.
The Foundation does not have a formal grant application. All requests should be in letter format. In the grant request proposal please include:
Please mail all grant requests and correspondence.
The number and amount of awards granted each years varies upon the number of qualified requests.
