  • Organizations will be notified of any decision via e-mail. All funding decisions are final.

  • If an organization is approved, grant checks will be mailed directly to the recipient’s address listed on the application.

All grant requests are subject to evaluation of the organization's standing, operations, and willingness to abide by all applicable terms and conditions. Application submission does not ensure funding. Organizations that refuse service, membership, or other activity based on a person's race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, status as a veteran, or level of impairment are excluded from funding. The Gerber Company is NOT required to give reasoning for why a request was denied.
