Contributions Program Guidelines
Deadlines & Procedures
Mailing: Applications (original only, no copies) should be mailed to:
Ms. Lillie Lee
Public Relations Department
The Washington Post
1150 15th Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20071
NOTE: Please do not FAX applications. Please do not bind the proposal, insert it in protective sleeves, or prepare it in other types of notebook form. This kind of presentation only makes the review process more difficult.
Deadlines: The Washington Post reviews requests quarterly. Applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. on the first Tuesday in:
March to be considered at the Spring review
June to be considered at the Summer review
September to be considered at the Fall review
December to be considered at the Winter review
Notification: Applicants should anticipate a wait of 60 to 90 days from the receipt of an application until a decision is made. All applicants are informed in writing of the decision of the Contributions Committee following the review.
Because of the volume of requests received, applicants are discouraged from telephoning during the application review process.
Although we appreciate the considerable time and effort involved in preparing a funding request, we regret that we are able to respond favorably to only a portion of the many worthy requests for assistance that we receive.
For further information, please call (202)334-6834.
