Consult with IHC Staff

After reviewing the IHC grant guidelines, prospective applicants are advised to discuss their proposed project with a staff member, board member, or both. These discussions are helpful because they enable prospective applicants to determine the feasibility of their proposed projects and to gain a clear idea of the objectives, guidelines, and priority areas of the Council.

Submit a Rough Draft of the Grant Application

Each applicant for a Major, Mini, Teacher Incentive, or Research Grant is strongly encouraged (but not required) to submit ONE COPY of a preliminary draft of a grant application to the IHC staff approximately one month prior to the final deadline date. The staff will review the first draft, giving special attention to the degree to which the proposed project promises to meet program guidelines and also to the proposed budget. The draft may be submitted by mail, fax, or email.

Submit a Final Application on or Before the Appropriate Deadline

Applicants should submit complete applications with all necessary forms and signatures postmarked on or before the appropriate deadline dates. See the relevant "grant instructions and application forms" link for further requirements concerning number of copies and format of the application.
