SFF Grantmaking

How To Apply

The Steans Family Foundation (SFF) has an invitation-only application process and does not accept unsolicited letters of inquiry or proposals. SFF actively engages with an extensive range of organizations, community groups, and other foundations; monitors ongoing and emerging strategies; and invites proposals from potential grantees based on priorities set by the Foundation’s Trustees.

Although our application process is by invitation only, if you believe your organization’s work fits our SFF’s current grantmaking priorities, please contact Marissa Filippo, Grants Manager, at to determine next steps.
