Core / General Operating Support

Hutton Parker Foundation facilitates two grant cycles per year.  Application deadlines are based on an organization’s classification. Organizations are limited to ONE Core/General Operating Support application per year. Grants are awarded as single-year funding.  If awarded, an organization is not eligible to apply for funding the next consecutive year. Organization may only receive Core/General Operating Support awards every other year.

General Inquiries to the Foundation staff are welcome. Given the large number of requests, it is difficult to schedule in-person meetings so phone calls and email inquiries are preferred. We ask that nonprofits refrain from contacting individual members of our Board of Directors and Grant Selection Committee.

See below for application deadlines as they relate to an organization’s classification. Classification is based on an organization’s mission statement, not specific programs or services. Please contact Pam Lewis, COO at plewis@huttonfoundation.org if you have any questions regarding your organization’s eligibility as failure to apply within the correct grant cycle will result in declination.

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. Please note that the website link used to access a saved application is different from the link you use to start a new application. The link to begin

When returning to a saved application, after signing on, you will see a list of any applications that are “in process” and any that have been previously submitted.

Note: you may complete your responses in a Word document and cut and paste the narrative into the online form. When doing this, please make sure to double check your word limits.
