What to send
The prog foundation has established a process to recruit and orient giving committee members. For each applicant, we check whether committee members have any conflict of interests. If they do, they do not participate in the vote on awards. We have a scoring rubric to evaluate grant applicants and make recommendations, a reoccurring time to convene monthly, and policies requiring additional requirements for grants above certain thresholds. The rubric asks for details about amount and type of support requested, how the support will level the economic playing field, how the grant will fill needs that would not be met otherwise, whether there will be an opportunity for prog-related individuals to volunteer in connection with the activity, etc. All requests are made via www.progfoundation.org or through an internal process that goes to the giving committee for consideration. Once funding is awarded a 501c3 letter is sent and form w9 and funds transmission information are requested.

As the foundation reported to the IRS for tax year 2025. Check its website or call before sending anything, because contacts and deadlines change.
