Applications by Invitation Only
The trustees of the Winifred Johnson Clive Foundation live in many places throughout the United States. The foundation leadership encourages each trustee to bring proposals from his or her own community to be considered by the whole board, which meets twice each year.
For this reason, no unsolicited proposals are accepted. Please do not send letters of inquiry or any other materials to the foundation. Board trustees will personally invite eligible organizations.
Once you’ve been invited, Apply Online
The trustee who has invited you to apply will send you a link to the foundation’s online grants management portal. To create a new proposal, first download the Application Outline before beginning to fill out the application. These forms were created to help you prepare your answers to narrative questions ahead of time and also walk you through the documents/attachments you’ll need to upload as part of the process. We recommend starting to work on your report or renewal application using Microsoft Word or Google Docs rather than in the online forms, particularly if you are working with several people to complete the application. Then, copy and paste your consolidated answers in the online forms.
If your organization has received funding from the Winifred Johnson Clive Foundation within the past 14 months and you have received an invitation to reapply from a Foundation trustee, please submit a Renewal Application rather than beginning a new proposal.

Reporting and Renewal
How to report
All grantees are required to submit both a progress and final report. Specific due dates will be included in the organization’s grant agreement. Failure to meet the reporting deadline may jeopardize future funding. Please use the Progress Report Form for progress reports and the Final Report Form for final reports. To complete your progress or final report, log in to the grants management portal. Please provide the information requested. Your answers should be brief, but complete. We hope you will be candid in telling us what was successful, as well as what was unsuccessful, so that we can all learn through your efforts.

how to renew
Grantees that received a grant within the past 14 months and wish to be considered for subsequent grant funding should submit a renewal request, which will serve as a new application for renewed funding. For your convenience, the foundation has compiled a step-by-step downloadable overview, outlining each question you’ll be asked to complete in the online renewal form. We encourage you to draft your narratives in Microsoft Word and then copy and paste in to the online report. Download the Renewal Outline.
