How to Apply
Please note: Given the Foundation's recent decision to sunset within the next few years, we are no longer able to accept new LOIs. We appreciate the amazing hard work of all nonprofits working to improve the lives of those in need in the greater Puget Sound area, and thank you for your understanding as we navigate this transition.
If you already have an application draft in progress (ie, have submitted an LOI and received an invitation to submit a full application):
- The Medina Foundation uses an online grants management and application system. Applicants log into this E-Grant System to create an account with Medina Foundation, and to submit and manage new requests.
- If you do not know your login information, please contact [email protected].

- If you have been invited to submit a full application, your (emailed) invitation contained a due date. Please submit your application by the due date or contact us as soon as possible to discuss. This is to ensure that our staff have time to process and review all applications by the end of the year, including scheduling a site visit.
- Applications are processed in the order they are received.
- Once your application is submitted, we will contact you (typically within 1-6 weeks) to set up a site visit, which is our chance to have a conversation and ask you any further questions.
- After your application and site visit are complete, your request will be reviewed at the next available meeting of the Trustees. We appreciate your patience. Feel free to check in any time on the status of your review.
- We anticipate that all remaining requests will be notified of funding status by mid-December 2025 at the latest.
- If your application is approved and a grant is made, we will ask your Executive Director/CEO or equivalent to sign a Grant Agreement via DocuSign before the grant funds are issued. Funding is issued via check to the mailing address we have on file.
