The window for submitting a new Letter of Intent (LOI) is now CLOSED. The 2024 dates for submitting new LOIs are posted below. The next grant cycle opens Jan. 8, 2024. Please note the opening and closing times of the submission window. The window may close early if we receive the maximum number of eligible applications.
The Joanna Foundation is a two-part process. The first requirement is to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI). After reviewing the LOIs, we invite a limited number of full proposals. Organizations may submit only one LOI in a calendar year unless specifically invited to re-submit. Please read our Grant Policies for additional requirements.
Submission Schedule
The Joanna Foundation has three funding cycles per year. Each cycle has a specific window for submission. The window will open at 9 AM on the start date and close at 5 PM on the end date OR when a maximum capacity of 25 eligible submissions is reached. In the event of early closure, potential applicants will be notified as quickly as possible via posts to this website, blitz mail, auto-responders and individual email replies.
- Cycle 1: January 8 – January 10, 2024
- Cycle 2: April 8 – April 10, 2024
- Cycle 3: August 5 – August 7, 2024
Early submissions and late submissions will not be accepted.
As noted above, the window may close early if the volume of submissions is high. On average, early closure has occurred in one cycle per year (but not necessarily the same cycle). If the window closes before the posted end date, applicants will be notified and encouraged to apply in a future cycle.

Organizations that receive funding in one year are not eligible to submit during the following calendar year. This policy is firm. Complete the online eligibility survey each time you consider applying.
