We believe strategic giving is compassionate giving.
Santa Fe Hestia Fund considers proposals from a variety of organizations and allocates funds to a diverse range of programs that support our mission. Proposals must benefit MIDDLE SCHOOL age students. Chosen grantees promote the “whole child” concept and add positively to middle school children’s life experience in the areas of academics, arts, sciences, athletics, health and well-being. Funding applications are due on May 15th each year.
The 2020/2021 grant cycle will open in March 2019. To learn more about getting funded visit GET FUNDED and download the application.
