Grants: How to Apply
The Legacy Foundation of Southeast Arizona (LFSAZ) provides a straightforward online grant application process. Applicants are encouraged to review the instructions before beginning their application. All LFSAZ grant applications must be submitted electronically through the online system.
Step 1: Review Eligibility, Guidelines & Deadlines
Each LFSAZ grant cycle has its own guidelines, application requirements, and proposal submission deadlines. Applications are only available while the grant cycle is open. Learn More about our Grant Cycles.
Applicants are encouraged to read the General Guidelines for All Grants before starting an application. Learn More
Step 2: Create an Account
To begin the application process, visit the LFSAZ Grant Portal.
Returning users should log in using their existing email address and password. Please do not create a second user account. You may wish to bookmark the login page for future access.
Recommended Browsers: Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Internet Explorer is not supported.
If you are a new user of an organization that already exists in the grant system, please contact the LFSAZ Grants Manager at barbara.nichols@lfsaz.org or (520) 335-8604 to be added as a new contact.
If you are a new user and your organization is new to the grant system, click “Create New Account” and select one login email address and password to use for all submissions. The Legacy Foundation will send all grant-related communications to this email address.
Step 3: Complete the Online Grant LOI or Application
Step 4: LFSAZ Will Review Your LOI or Application
Your application will be reviewed and evaluated by the Philanthropy Committee and staff. The committee’s funding recommendations will then be reviewed by the Legacy Foundation’s Board of Directors.
During the review process, LFSAZ staff may contact you for additional information or request an in-person presentation.
Step 5: Final Grant Decisions are Made
You will be notified within 8–10 weeks whether your organization has been selected for funding.
A decision not to fund a request should not be interpreted as a lack of appreciation for the value of the proposed work or the time, effort, and dedication involved in preparing the request.
