Application Process

The Calderwood Writing Initiative does not have an application form. Instead, a full proposal for funding should be submitted as a letter of approximately 3 pages describing the activity for which funds are being requested. In addition, include a project budget and a copy of the organization's 501(c) 3 ruling from the IRS. Please do not send additional material with your proposal.

Address the proposal to:

John C. Brereton, Executive Director
Calderwood Writing Initiative at the Boston Athenæum
10½ Beacon Street
Boston, Massachusetts 02108
(617) 720-7698
brereton@bostonathenaeum.org

There is no set time for the review of applications, but the Initiative's Advisory Board takes an active role in overseeing grants, with site visits and hands-on collaboration.
