Lambent Foundation 2019 Final Report and 2020 Renewal Request Similar to last year, Lambent's RFP process will combine reporting on 2019 grants as well as requests for 2020 funds in an effort to make efficient use of time and energies. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Due date: Monday, March 30th, 2020 by 5PM Eastern Time, USA. This process is by invitation-only to current grantee partners. Lambent will be awarding annual (12-month cycle), general operating and project-specific grants. NOTE: Lambent values the administrative and overhead costs required to carry out your organization's work. In recognition of this, we prefer that you submit a 2020 project-specific financial request that includes admin and overhead. However, if you prefer general operating, please "make the case" in your narrative. Grant requests may range up to $100,000 USD, but should be in line with past year(s) support. If an increase is requested, please articulate your reasoning and advocate for your request. To submit a proposal, you must use this online webform. Complete the form by expanding the drop-down arrows below and completing all appropriate sections. NOTE: Your work will not be saved online. We highly recommend that you compose and save your responses in a separate document. Copy and paste them into the online webform when you are ready for submission.
