Instructions
For unsolicited inquiries:
Please complete the Letter of Intent (LOI) in detail, but as concisely as possible. Do not exceed the one-page limit for the narrative. Email your LOI to Anna Proctor (anna@yogadanafoundation.org)
Assuming Yoga Dana Foundation has sufficient funding available, LOI applicants who best meet our criteria and further our mission will be invited to complete a grant application.
For invited applications:
Applicants will receive separate instructions at the time of your invitation. Selected first-time grant applicants will be invited to share their project in person with our Board of Directors in San Francisco, after which point final awardees will be selected. Unfortunately, Yoga Dana Foundation is unable to cover the applicants’ cost of travel to meet with our Board members. Please refer to the following calendar for deadlines and for the general timeline of this process.
