Applicants should understand the key dates and deadlines below when submitting a grant application to ensure their portion of the process is completed in a timely manner.

The following deadlines are in place to allow enough time to review and prepare your proposal for consideration by the RCH Philanthropic Funding Proposals Committee, the RCH CEO and the RCH Foundation Grants Committee. Leaving the application to the deadline date my result in delays, putting your application at risk of missing the RCH Foundation Grants Committee meeting which means you have another three-month wait before it can be considered again.

Once submitted to the RCH Foundation, proposals up to and including $50,000 are considered by the CEO’s of both the RCH and the RCH Foundation – usually monthly.

Proposals (and variations) over $50,000 are considered by the RCH Foundation Grants Committee who meet quarterly as detailed below.
