Grantmaking
Grantseekers
The Glick Fund does not accept grant applications through an open application process. However, selected organizations will be invited to apply for the June 1 – June 30 CICF common grant application deadline, with awards being made annually in the fall. Applications submitted through CICF’s common application process that align with The Glick Fund’s priorities may be presented to The Glick Fund Advisors for consideration. Questions should be directed to Ryan Brady, Director of Strategic Projects.
