The Fannie E. Rippel Foundation does not accept unsolicited proposals for funding. Rather, we request specific proposals for funding from pre-identified organizations or individuals and/or utilize a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process. The RFP process identifies potential grantees interested in fulfilling a specific need or exploring an area of interest for the Foundation. <Learn More about RFPs>
