Upcoming Website and Grants Process Updates

We wanted to give you advance notice that changes are coming soon to our website and our Grants Process.

What’s Happening:

  • A redesigned website with improved navigation and a refreshed look will go live in the coming weeks.
  • The Letter of Inquiry will be replaced with a formal Grant Application process.
  • Several processes for Grant requests – such as login steps and form submissions will be updated to make them more user-friendly and efficient.

Why We’re Making These Changes: These updates are part of our ongoing effort to improve your experience. The new design and streamlined workflows will:

  • Make it easier to find what you need
  • Speed up routine tasks
  • Work better across all devices
  • Enhance security and performance

What You Need to Know:

  • The current website and LOI processes will remain in place until June 30, 2025.
  • There will be downtime or limited access during the transition – we’ll keep you informed on our website.
  • We’ll provide clear guidance and support once the new system is live (tentatively scheduled for August 1, 2025).

 We appreciate your support and look forward to delivering a better experience for you.  If you have any questions, please contact Debbie Costlow, Director of Programs and Development:  dcostlow@1889foundation.org.
