Welcome to the new Connections Grantmaking Program!

We are pleased to launch this new, web-based program. We believe it will increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our grantmaking activities, give your organization more visibility in our community and provide more engagement and partnering opportunities for donors and other contributors.

All organizations interested in submitting a grant application are required to be registered online with the Foundation. To get started, please contact the office, 378-1001 to request a temporary username and password.

SJICF Grant Applications are submitted in writing. Applications may be submitted at anytime following the required online registration and pre-grant application, 1:1 meeting with Foundation representatives. We suggest you also refer to the Grant Application Checklist as a useful guide.

The Foundation is dedicated to improving and enriching the quality of life on our island by encouraging philanthropy, growing an endowment for purposeful grants, and building partnerships that effectively connect donors with island nonprofits and their projects. We are dedicated to finding long-term solutions, opportunities and resources that foster a sustainable and healthy future and respect for our past.
