Application For Funding

The Sea Ranch Foundation's charter limits our support to projects that help our community in specific areas:

"The specific and primary purposes of this corporation are to advance the arts (music, literature, visual arts, dramatic arts, crafts, etc.) for the cultural and aesthetic enjoyment of the community, to facilitate the collection of artifacts relating to the Sea Ranch locale and to support education and the preservation of the natural environment in the north coast area."

The Foundation will consider modest requests, typically for up to $5,000, for grants that aid projects responding to the needs of the coastal community between Stewarts Point and Manchester.

Proposals must be for projects within this north coast area, and must fall into one or more of the following categories:

Encouragement of the arts, education, or historic preservation.
Preservation of the natural environment.

To submit a request for Foundation assistance, please provide the information requested below, and attach any additional information that would further explain your project. All requests or letters of inquiry should be submitted to the Foundation Treasurer at the address below.
