Grants, Partnerships and Sponsorships
The MSNHA accepts grant applications on a rolling deadline until all available grant funds are allocated.
Interested in applying for an MSNHA grant? Please review the Grant, Partnership, and Sponsorship Guidelines to ensure your project fits with the types of work we fund. Once you’ve reviewed the guidelines, use the Grant Application link to submit your application (applications currently cannot be saved so please ensure you are prepared to submit when you begin the process). Many of the resources on this page will be helpful as you navigate the grant process. Please pay special attention to the Grants and Partnership Match Guide, which will help to ensure you are documenting your work properly. There are also blank timesheet forms, in-kind documentation forms, and the link to the Grants and Partnerships Final Report form.
If you are an MSNHA partner, please familiarize yourself with the match guide and please use the blank timesheets, in-kind form, and the final report form available on this page as well.
