Ambrose Monell Foundation

The Ambrose Monell Foundation provides grants for projects related to religious, charitable, scientific, medical, literary, and educational uses and purposes. The AMF gave away approximately $9M last year to nfp's as diverse as the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, the Jewish Guild for the Blind, and the Admiral Nimitz Foundation.

The process begins by submitting a letter of inquiry (LOI). LOIs may be submitted at any time during the year and are reviewed on a continuous basis (there are no deadlines for LOIs). LOIs should not be more than three pages long and should include the following:

• The name, address, e-mail address, and telephone number for the organization, and for the primary contact person for the request;
• The mission and a brief background statement about the organization;
• The use to which the funds will be put;
• The amount to be requested.

The review process for LOIs takes approximately 4-6 weeks. Applicants will be contacted by the Foundation only if the LOI receives a favorable response. At that time, the Foundation will request a detailed proposal and, if helpful, schedule a meeting with the prospective grantee. Proposals are to be submitted only upon invitation – unsolicited proposals will not be reviewed.
