Grant Submission Process
Lisle uses a two-phase application process. In the initial phase, organizations submit a Request to Apply (RTA) form through the grant portal Submit. Lisle reviews these submissions and identifies those that align with our mission and have potential for a successful grant proposal. If the RTA demonstrates promise, the applicant is invited to submit a full grant proposal.
It’s essential to review the eligibility criteria for projects. If your project meets these criteria, you’re ready to submit a RTA form.
If approved for Phase Two, a Lisle Grant Mentor will guide you through the Global Seed Grant Application process. They’ll help align your project with Lisle’s values, evaluate its suitability for the program, and serve as your main point of contact, addressing any questions or concerns.
The Preview to the RTA and Grant Application offers an early glimpse of the questions you’ll need to answer before submitting the official request. Please note that all requests for Phase One and Two must be submitted exclusively through the grant portal “Submit,” and will only be accepted through that platform.
Get started submit your organization’s RTA using the grant portal Submit.
