The grant program offered by the Ross Foundation is designed to support projects within specific areas of interest: education, arts and cultural enrichment, community beautification and improvement, historical preservation, mental health and the developmentally disabled, and forestry research and conservation management. Applicants are initially required to submit a pre-proposal form to outline their project idea. If this pre-proposal aligns with the Ross Foundation’s interests, the applicant is then invited to prepare a more detailed full proposal. This process ensures that projects funded by the Ross Foundation are in close alignment with their broad goals and guiding principles, aiming to make meaningful contributions within their areas of focus.
