Application Procedures
Grant applications are by invitation only. If you have been invited to submit an application, please note the procedures below. The Foundation makes grants both for ongoing and project-based support.
The Katherine John Murphy Foundation's process is by invitation only. If invited to apply, a link to the online application form will be emailed to you.
Once invited, if you have not yet registered with our online system, you will be prompted to create an account first so you can return to a saved application at a later date if needed. As of 2025, you will now be logging into the new portal using a Blackbaud account (vs. a Truist account as in the past.)
Eligibility Requirements
The Trustees will consider all qualified applications received from organizations that are exempt from taxation under the Internal Revenue Code Section 501 (c) (3).
If you are a 509 (a) (3) Supporting Organization, please be prepared to provide additional information.
