Field Hall Foundation supports programs and projects that improve the lives of older adults and caregivers in Dutchess, Putnam and Westchester Counties. Priority is given to proposals focused on the basic needs of low-income older adults (60+ years old) and their unpaid caregivers.
The Foundation awards one-year small and full-sized grants. This Letter of Inquiry form is for full grants only (more than $15,000). Visit the Foundation’s website, fieldhallfoundation.org, for a Letter of Inquiry form for full grant requests, as well as guidelines and eligibility requirements.
Previous grant recipients are eligible to submit another Letter of Inquiry after a) at least one year has passed since receiving a grant, and b) a final report for that grant has been submitted to and accepted by the Foundation. It is important to note that, because of the large number of organizations the Foundation supports, previous grantees are generally not considered for another grant until approximately two years after receiving a grant.
If your organization is eligible to apply, complete the second page of this form and email it, along with a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) to phorvath@fieldhallfdn.org by January 30, 2025.
The LOI should include the following information and be a Word or pdf document, two pages or less, in black, 12-point Times New Roman type.
- A brief introduction to the organization, including the mission and programs offered
- A summary of the proposed program/project, the need it addresses, and its goal(s).
- The approximate starting date and duration of the program/project. The grant period for the Spring 2025 grant cycle is from July 2025 to June 2026. Include an explanation if the proposal has a different timeline.
- A preliminary budget showing how the requested funding will be allocated and if additional funding is needed for the program/project. Up to 10% of requested funding can be allocated for indirect/administrative costs. Refer to the Dates & Forms page on the Foundation’s website, org, for all allowable costs.
- How the program/project is typically, or will be, funded. Please note that the Foundation does not renew grants or award multi-year grants.
