Application Process

TMRF is on an annual grant cycle. Applications will be reviewed by the Foundation to determine that the grant request is complete and conforms to the TMRF policies and guidelines. A representative of the TMRF may follow up on your application with questions and/or clarifications.
A sub-committee of the TMRF Board of Directors will make 2026 funding decisions before January 1, 2026 and all applicants will be noticed shortly thereafter if their grant request was funded.
