1. Required Information Sheet: a very important form that gives us a “snapshot” of your organization, your project, and the people you benefit. Click HERE to take you to a page with the downloadable Required Information Sheet. We suggest you copy and paste this form into your own program, such as Word.doc . Then you can fill it out and re-attach to an email, or print it out and send it to us by one of the following methods.

• by postal mail with the rest of your application materials.
• as an attachment to an email to us (most applicants prefer this) at cyrus.eaton.foundation@deepcove.org. The attachment can be a Word.doc (we prefer this) or in .pdf format. In fact, even if you are going to submit your complete application by postal mail, we urge you to email us your Required Information Sheet as soon as you have filled it out. This will greatly expedite the processing of your application!

2. Do you have a website? If so, be sure to include the URL to give us a more complete picture of your organization.

3. Executive Summary: a brief (up to 2 pages) letter giving us some background information about your organization, and summarizing your grant request.

4. Your organization’s 501(c)(3) form from the Internal Revenue Service. We cannot consider your organization without this document.

5. Board of Directors and Funding Sources: please list your organization's board of directors, as well as your other funding sources for this request. Please list whether this funding is committed, pending, or received.
