Beginning in 2009 the Trustees of Prince Charitable Trusts, DC have adopted a policy of accepting and reviewing only invited proposals. Unsolicited proposals will not be reviewed. This change in policy is primarily a result of the economic situation and is intended to save organizations the added work of preparing proposals that cannot be funded.

Electronic proposals are preferred. Attachments may be mailed separately. Proposals should include the Prince Charitable Trust Grant Application Cover Sheet and the Common Grant Application Format of Washington Grantmakers. Please be sure to include the following attachments:

1. Two copies of the IRS determination letter stating your organization is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is classified as a public charity under Sections 509 (a)(1) or 509 (a)(2). If the letter does not specifically describe your organization as 509 (a)(1) or 509 (a)(2), separate confirmation from the IRS or your attorney must be included.
2. A copy of the organization’s latest annual report or audited financial statements.
3. A copy of the organization’s operating budget for the current and previous fiscal year.
4. A list of the organization’s Board of Directors
5. A list of the organization’s foundation and/or corporate support received during the current fiscal year with corresponding dollar amounts for each.

If you have questions about the proposal format, please contact the Prince Charitable Trusts offices at 202-728-0646 or info@princetrusts.org.
