2018 Applications Now Being Accepted

Applications for 2018 funding are now being accepted. All applications are due by August 1, 2018 and must follow the guidelines on our Apply page. Please note that there have been changes made to our requirements in the cover page section as well as where to e-mail your application. Any questions can be directed to MallorySilva@helenshopefoundation.org.

Timeline for Grant Application CHANGED for 2018

The Foundation has decided to change their grant timeline. Going forward, grant applications will be due by August 1st and funding will be distributed by November 1st. Please look for updated application information by June 1st.

Additionally, the Foundation will no longer be accepting applications from organizations in NJ. Our ties to NJ have weakened, and the number of outstanding organizations we have become connected with in FL, NY and PA is so strong we can no longer support NJ organizations.
