Primary Focus

To Apply

Only those applications that include the Letter of Inquiry together with all of the above-requested documents will be reviewed.

Tmura will acknowledge receipt of applications, and following review, will contact selected applicants with next steps. Tmura’s Grants Committee will evaluate potential recipients and make grant recommendation to the Board of Directors. Final funding decisions and grant amounts are determined by Tmura’s Board of Directors and are also dependent on funds available for disbursement in a given year.

Please note that Tmura's grants are made in two installments, with the second installment being transferred to the grantee upon the accomplishment of a pre-defined milestone. At the time of the second installment, all eligibility criteria and documentation listed above must still be in effect.
