Core / General Operating Support

Hutton Parker Foundation will facilitate two Core/General Operating Support grant cycles in calendar 2021.  Each cycle will consist of a 30 day Open Application Period followed by an approximately 60 day Review & Evaluation Period.  Applicants must choose to apply to only one of the two cycles.  Duplicate applications will not be accepted.  Any SANTA BARBARA COUNTY-based nonprofit (501(c)(3))organization is eligible to apply for this funding.  A maximum 30 qualified and complete applications will be accepted per cycle.

See Cycle I and Cycle II details to the right.

Please contact Pam Lewis, COO at plewis@huttonfoundation.org with any questions regarding eligibility, our application process and procedure, and/or any other inquires.  Due to COVID-19 restrictions, in-person meetings are prohibited.  Phone calls and email inquiries are welcome.  Please refrain from contacting individual members of our Board of Directors and/or Grant Selection Committee.

All applications must be submitted through Hutton Parker Foundation’s online grantee portal. You must create an account, or use a previously established account, to access the online system.

The online process is designed so that you can stop and save your work at any time and return to the application as many times as needed prior to submission.
