The primary focus of the Nora Roberts Foundation is to support Literacy. Additional areas of focus are: Children's programs, Arts organizations, and Humanitarian efforts, with local organizations being its priority. 

Application Guidelines

The most important part of the application is the 2-3 sentence summary. The summary should answer the following questions:

  2. How does the project or organization uniquely and directly benefit one or more of our focus areas (Literacy, Children, Arts)?
  3. What would a donation to your organization be used for?

 

Solicitation Limitations:

An organization can apply once per fiscal year (August – July)

Other Information:

Our average grant is $5000. For first time grant seekers, we recommend asking for $2,500-$7,500. You can also ask for less than $2,500.

While not necessary, the foundation generally shows preference to groups that are local to the Maryland/DC/West Virginia area.

Deadlines for applications are based on our quarterly board meetings in January, March/April, June/July, and October/November. To be safe, submit your application by Dec. 1st, March 1st, June 1st, and September 1st to be considered at that quarters meeting.
