Inquiry and Application Process

The Carol Ann and Ralph V. Haile, Jr. Foundation (the Foundation) aims to make the process of developing a relationship with and securing support from the Foundation as simple as possible for organizations that are in alignment with our funding priorities and operate within our geographic area of focus. To best serve you, we have a rolling application process.

We invite interested organizations to begin an inquiry either by reaching out via our “contact us” page or by filling out the application form linked below. If you’re unsure if your organization or program is a good match, or have other questions for us, feel free to email or call the Foundation first to discuss.

Please note: the inquiry form is simply one way of establishing a connection with the Foundation and is not intended to be the full extent of your application process.

Criteria:

  • Applicants must be classified as tax-exempt by the IRS or have fiscal sponsorship through a classified tax-exempt organization.

  • Grants will be made to organizations working in the 10 counties in the Greater Cincinnati region: Hamilton, Butler, Warren, Clermont and Brown in Ohio; Kenton, Campbell and Boone in Kentucky; Dearborn and Franklin in Indiana.

  • Grants will be made to organizations within the Foundation’s mission, values, and funding priorities.
