The Chinese Heritage Foundation employs the
Minnesota Common Grant Application.
If you would like to submit a grant application to us, please observe the following guidelines that are appropriate for the amount of your request.
Grant applications may be sent to the CHF by paper or e-mail.
Completed applications can be mailed to the address on our
Contact Information page.
Electronic submissions should be in the form of Microsoft Word documents sent as an
attachment to
grantapp_at_chineseheritagefoundation.org. A Foundation representative will
acknowledge your application and a notification will be
sent to you after the semi-annual advisory committee meeting.
Grant applications are due March 15 and September 15 of each calendar year.
Grants awarded by the Chinese Heritage Foundation Fund so far have
been in the range of $100-$500. Grant requests for larger amounts will
be forwarded to donor advised funds within the Chinese Heritage
Foundation. Any grant recommendation from a donor advised fund is the
sole perogative of the advisor(s) for that fund.
