How To Apply

The Arca Foundation's Spring 2010 application deadline is March 1, 2010 at 5 p.m. EST.

The Foundation is launching an online application system for the Spring 2010 deadline. We expect the system to go live on Tuesday, February 16, 2010, at which time applicants can access the system and submit applications via a link that will be posted on this page. Applications MUST be submitted online. Applications submitted by any other method will not be considered. Instructions on using the system can be found here. We highly recommend you review the instructions before beginning your application.

If you’d like to begin working on your application before the online system goes live, we suggest you visit the Proposal FAQs.  The Proposal FAQs outlines the information to be included in the narrative of the proposal, as well as the list of documents that your organization should be prepared to submit/upload electronically.   Documents include your organization's IRS 501(c)3 letter and Arca's lobbying expenditure form.  As always, the foundation only considers full proposals and does not accept letters of inquiry.
