The review process | Print full guidelines
Lumina Foundation reviews every letter of inquiry that meets our criteria. Following the initial review, we will inform applicants within two months of receipt whether the inquiry fits our current priorities and resources. Due to limited resources, we cannot necessarily request proposals from all inquiries that meet our criteria. If we decide to request a full proposal, we will provide instructions on applying for a grant and will request additional information. An invitation to submit a proposal does not guarantee funding.
An internal review panel carefully considers all solicited proposals; occasionally, we invite external experts to review proposals as well. We are diligent in our efforts to respond promptly to proposals. Assuming potential grantees' timely responses to requests for information, the entire review and approval process typically takes approximately six months.
