GRANT  CYCLES & STRUCTURE

The Trotula Fund makes grants for projects, as well as single unrestricted donations to an organization. The Trotula Fund recognizes the need for an allowance in a grant proposal for unrestricted funds that support the organization, or staffing needs in conjunction with the development of a project. Similarly, when there are synergistic partnerships for a project, the Trotula Fund recognizes the benefit of coordinating staffing, and the associated costs of working together between two or more organizations. 

​

Our fiscal year follows the calendar year of January 1 to December 31. 

Grant-Making Cycle

The Trotula Fund accepts grant proposals throughout the year. We look to work with an organization when making a proposal and will review the purpose, structures, staffing, and expenditures of a proposal with the submitting organization. 

The Trotula Fund will also accept grant proposals which an organization has previously developed, but for which it did not receive funding.
