How do we apply for a Grant?
To be considered for a grant from the Anthony Robbins Foundation, an organization must initially submit a Letter of Intent online. The online form of the Letter of Intent appears on the site.
A Letter of Intent may not exceed 3 pages in length. The online form of the Letter of Intent permits narrative information to be provided for items 1-6.
Once submitted, the Letter of Intent will be reviewed and considered by the Grant Committee in conjunction with the scheduled monthly meetings. This review process normally takes between 4 and 6 weeks. An organization may then be invited to submit a formal grant application. Directions for completing the grant application will be provided to an organization, if it is invited to submit one. Only "invited" grant applications will be considered.
All organizations submitting a Letter of Intent will be informed of the Foundation's decision by e-mail.

Once you have been approved by the Board you will receive a Formal Grant Application.
A request for support must include the following:
- Include verification that the charitable organization requesting the grant is presently a charitable organization under Internal Revenue Code Section 501(c)(3) and California Revenue & Taxation Code Section 2370d; copies of the determination letters from the Internal Revenue and Franchise Tax Board must accompany the initial request. The grant request must specify whether the requesting organization is a "public charity" (IRC §509(a)(1, 2 or 3) or a "private foundation."
- Provide a detailed budget of your organization and the specific project, including other sources of funding, whether committed, conditional or potential.
- Provide financial statements, including income and expenses statements (audited, if available) for the past two years for your organization.
- Provide a current list of Board of Directors of organization.
Conciseness and clarity are most highly regarded attributes of a grant request rather than elaborate (and cumbersome) notebooks or other relatively expensive formats.
A condition of every grant is the obligation and undertaking to provide the Foundation with a 6-month progress report concerning the specific project, program or other activity supported by the grant. The progress report is due 6-months following receipt of the grant. The progress report must include the date of receipt of the grant award.
The Board of Directors recently adopted a new policy that allows a grantee organization to reapply for a new grant after two years from its original grant date. This policy also applies if the grantee organization submits a proposal for the same program or a new program for consideration.
The Anthony Robbins Foundation considers grant applications in written form only. If the Board desires further information following initial review of the request, the applicant will be contacted by a Foundation representative. Board decisions are communicated in writing, usually within 30 days of the date the Board considers the request. The Board meets quarterly. Generally, a grant request received within 30 days of a Board meeting will be deferred for action until the next regularly scheduled Board meeting. Please contact the Foundation for specific deadline dates for submitting grant applications. All grant applications and inquiries should be directed to:
