The Hannon Foundation primarily funds non-profit organizations
whose works address the goals of our founder as described
in the Foundation’s Mission Statement. Large grants only are
made to institutions and organizations that played an important role
in Mr. Hannon's life, and the foundation always keeps his mission and
legacy in mind when awarding grants.
The Foundation limits its grants to programs primarily
in the greater Los Angeles area, where Mr. Hannon
lived and worked. Also, only Internal Revenue Service
certified, non-profit public charities are eligible
for grants. Grant requests are not considered for
individuals, underwriting parties, travel funds, advertisements,
the advancement of political agendas, and radio or
TV programming.
The Hannon Foundation considers grant requests
in writing only. Grant proposals are considered at
each quarterly Board of Directors’ Meeting.
Request letters should be received by
August 1 for the September meeting; November 1 for the December meeting; February 1 for the March
meeting; or May 1 for the June meeting.
Applicants will be notified
of the decision in writing within thirty days of the
quarterly Board Meeting. Site visits may be a part
of our evaluation process.
We do not have a formal grant application. All requests should be in letter format.
In the grant request proposal please include:
1 |
A
brief history of the organization; |
2 |
A
