1) SUBMIT LETTER OF INQUIRY
All interested applicants must submit a letter of inquiry as an initial step. This letter allows the Rose Foundation to determine if the proposal appears to be a good fit for the fund. Please remember, this grants fund has twin “bull’s eyes”, to benefit underserved, vulnerable, or otherwise disadvantaged community benefit and to improve water quality. To advance in the process, successful applicants must hit both bull’s eyes.
Please follow these steps to submit your Letter of Inquiry.
a) Check Eligibility: Please check all eligibility requirements before starting the application.
b) Read the Application Instructions: Please read all of the instructions carefully and follow them step-by-step. To access our online application system instructions, please visit https://rosefdn.org/instructions
c) Start your Application: The letter of inquiry must be submitted via our online application system. Once you log onto the system, please specifically answer each question, and please be aware of the character limits that will be specified for your responses to each question.
2) INVITED APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
A limited number of full funding applications will be invited based on the letters of inquiry. If you are invited to submit a full funding application.

What Happens Next
The Letters of Inquiry will be screened and applicants may or may not be contacted for follow up information. Based on the invited applications received, the Rose Foundation will then recommend an initial Project List to the Los Angeles Regional Board for consideration. At its discretion, the Los Angeles Regional Board may accept some, or all, of the projects on the initial Project List. Once the final Project List is determined by the Los Angeles Regional Board, these projects will become eligible for SEP funding.
It is anticipated, but not guaranteed, that Los Angeles Regional Board’s decision will in the fall of 2019. And, please remember that even if chosen for the initial Project List, there is no guarantee that projects on the initial list will be funded, and there is no deadline for when actual funding decisions will be announced. Funding decisions are announced on a rolling basis throughout the year as SEP funds become available.
