Application Process

The Edna Wardlaw Charitable Trust is pleased to provide a link to its online Grant Application Form through this website. If you fit within the guidelines described on the Guidelines tab, and/or have received funding in the past, we encourage you to begin an online application by clicking on the link below and submitting by June 15th.

Special Note for the 2025 Application Cycle: Applications must be received by October 15th to be considered during the compressed 2025 grant cycle. Applications received after this date will be considered at the discretion of the family and their advisors.  Organizations selected to receive funding will typically be notified at the end of October or beginning of November.

In order to assist the family in their decision-making, you will be asked to supply information about your organization, key leadership, details about your grant request, impact you expect the grant to have on your organization or community, a time table and how you will measure success.

The online application requires the following attachments:

In addition, you have the option to upload the following if you think it would be helpful for the family to review:
