How to Apply for a
Remy’s Good Day Fund Grant
All applications must be submitted in writing to the Fund’s Executive Director, and must include a budget. We are a small organization, and therefore our approach is hands-on and highly personal. We can help format your grant proposal if necessary to speed it through the process. In that way, we can make the best use of both your time and ours.
We highly recommend that the applicant talk to or meet with us before submission. To start this process, or for any questions, first contact:
