<div dir="auto">Hi Joly and Nazar, </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Yes, that's correct, and we realize that this may delay projects slightly for some. While many foundations only offer a single annual window for application submissions, we have maintained a rolling process to allow for flexibility with the
chapters. We do however need to close a program year before beginning the next.<span></span><span></span></div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">Due to the timing on our budgets and how we take feedback into account to make improvements for the following year, January 7 is the soonest we can open applications for 2025 projects. We are also still working through processing the final Beyond
the Net applications that came in by October 10 for 2024's program year. </div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto"><span><span>We are currently working to update our website with more information about the funding processes for 2025. We will also hold some open office hours in January to answer questions you might have. </span></span></div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to learn and evolve our programs to support the work you do.</div>
<div dir="auto"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto">In partnership,</div>
