Grant Application

Please read guidelines on our Grants page before submitting. The Bower Foundation has a two-step grant application process.

Step 1

A Grant Concept Summary is submitted for Grant Committee consideration. The form below is this summary.

*Please note that any University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) faculty or staff wishing to submit a proposal must first receive approval from the UMMC Vice Chancellor. Any MS Dept of Health application/proposal would have to be approved by the State Health Officer prior to submission.

Step 2

An organization whose Grant Concept Summary is approved will be asked to complete a full grant application for submission to the Grant Committee.

Review Process

The Bower Foundation will acknowledge the receipt of your Grant Concept Summary upon its arrival.

The following criteria will be used to evaluate such requests:

Is the proposed program consistent with the mission and goals of the foundation?
Is the proposed program likely to succeed?
How significant are the benefits of the program relative to the total cost?
Is the proposed program sustainable after Foundation funding ends?
