May and Stanley Smith Charitable Trust Grants

The Trust has revised its grant application process, no longer accepting unsolicited Letters of Inquiry (LOIs) due to limited grantmaking budgets and a high volume of applications. Organizations must meet stringent eligibility and alignment criteria, including tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) or equivalent, serving individuals in the Western United States, and aligning with the Trust’s program strategies. The Trust focuses on high-impact, sustainable programs with proven success and broad community support. Instead of LOIs, organizations can now submit a simple email inquiry to inform the Trust of their work. Only inquiries with potential will be contacted. The grant is marked as "rolling" only as the foundation will answer to inquiry and contact you with more informations of deadlines after that.
