Grant requests can be made at any time for support of activities related to Foundation program areas and interests. The Foundation funds organizations through out the country but is limited to supporting 501c-3 institutions.
The Foundation has no deadlines or standard forms. We prefer concise, well-organized proposals. In no case should the body of the proposal exceed 10 double-spaced pages. The Foundation prefers proposals sent by e-mail. A brief letter of inquiry, rather than a fully developed proposal, is an advisable first step for an applicant, conserving his or her time and allowing for a preliminary response regarding the possibility of support. The Foundation will contact you if we desire a full proposal. Due to the large number of inquiries we are unable to respond to all requests.
Grants are made by the Charles Lafitte Trustees, who meet several times a year. Grant proposals are normally sent to the President of the Foundation and include, in addition to details about the applicant and the proposed project, information on the cost and duration of the work. Overhead for these grants can be budgeted at no more than fifteen percent of direct project costs.
In addition to grants made by the Trustees during these meetings, Trustees can make grants at any time for the Foundation. If you have any questions regarding the process please contact Jennifer Vertetis, President at jennifer@charleslafitte.org.
The Foundation will reply to your inquiry/proposal if it fits within the current goals and budget for the Foundation. Due to the large number of inquiries, the Foundation does not reply to each inquiry but will contact those that are of interest to the Foundation.
Please send all proposals via email to Jennifer Vertetis (jennifer@charleslafitte.org) or mail to: The Charles Lafitte Foundation c/o Jennifer Vertetis 29520 2nd Ave SW, Federal Way , WA 98023
