Grantmaking Process

1 Our Grant Application Process Has Closed

In 2019, the Bullitt Foundation made the announcement that it would sunset its grant making activities in 2024.

The Foundation will award its final grants and will have spent down its endowment by April 2024. As of 2023, the Foundation is no longer accepting new grant applications.

We are proud we were able to support the environmental activities of so many groups throughout the Pacific Northwest over the past 50+ years. In addition, we are amazed and humbled at the results and impact our grantees have made over the years. Thank you for the work you do, and will continue to do for years to come.

2 Final Reports

GRANT YEAR-END REPORT
The Bullitt Foundation requires each grantee to submit a final report at the completion of its grant, with reports due by March 1 or September 1 (please refer to your grant agreement for the deadline). If the organization needs additional time to complete its work under a grant, it should request an extension by contacting the Foundation’s program officer listed on the Grant Agreement. If the deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a US federal holiday, the submission deadline is the next business day.

To submit your final report, log in to the Online Grantee Portal.  If your final report is due and you have not yet received (or have forgotten) a user name and password for the grantee portal, please email our staff at grants@bullitt.org.

In your report, you will be asked to:

  1. Describe the most significant accomplishment your organization has achieved in the past year related to the issue area of your grant. We are not looking for a list of activities, but rather a concise and thoughtful description of how your organization achieved its mission or made the world measurably better. This paragraph should be no more than 4-5 sentences and is the most important part of the final report.
  2. Describe lessons learned. The Foundation is interested in lessons drawn from successes and failures alike. What strategies worked that might be replicated elsewhere? What approaches fell short of expectations, and why?
  3. Describe (if applicable) how this project addressed issues of Diversity, Equity, or Inclusion.
  4. Describe the overall health of the organization.
  5. Review the budget information and funding plan from the application submitted to the Foundation, describe the organization’s general financial status, and explain any major discrepancies from the information submitted in the application.
  6. For each of the “anticipated outcomes” you identified when applying for the grant, describe the most notable successes, failures, and unanticipated consequences you experienced. Grantees awarded a general support grant should have alternate questions related to the opportunities presented from receiving general operating funds.
