Welcome to our web site. We hope this site will provide you with the information you need about Columbia Foundation and our grantmaking programs.

You will find our program guidelines, which include descriptions of each program area, information on eligibility, proposal deadlines, and the grant application and review process.

You will also find a list of recent grants. Wherever possible, we have created links to our grantees' web sites for you to learn more about them.

Also included on our web site is the foundation application form and application instructions. The application form can be downloaded, but it is not interactive. If you are not able to print the application form from our web site, please contact the foundation and we will send one to you by mail.
