The Antioch Foundation Grant Process
Because The Antioch Foundation is constantly evolving, changes in the grant application process may occur. For that reason, it is important to revisit the application process annually.
Organizations that have not received grant funding form the Antioch Foundation in the past 5 years (2019-2024) must submit a letter of inquiry between April 15th and July 15th. If your project appears to be a good match for the foundation, you will be invited to submit a complete proposal.
Full grant applications for 2025 must be received between September 15 and October 15, 2024. Click HERE for complete application instructions.
All grant requests must be submitted electronically via an online application portal. Emailed applications will not be accepted.
The directors will review the applications and announce the grants by January 1, 2025.
Successful applicants will receive an acceptance agreement that must be signed and returned.
Once the signed agreement is received, the foundation will send the grant funds on a date mutually agreed upon by the foundation and the recipient.
Recipients must submit a status report and documentation that the funds were expended for the specified purpose within twelve months of receipt of the grant.
Special note to organizations associated with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS): While The Antioch Foundation supports a number of organizations and programs associated with the WELS, it does not make grants to organizations or programs that also receive operating budget subsidies directly from WELS corporate. If you are seeking a faith-based grant and receive an operating budget subsidy from WELS, you may qualify for a grant under Antioch II. See the FAQ page for more information on Antioch II. If you do not receive any operating budget subsidy from WELS, you may use the standard Antioch grant application.
