Grant Facts and Questions

How do we know if we are eligible for a grant?   Please refer to our grants requirements page to make sure your organization meets all of our requirements and falls within our geographic area. If you still have questions, you may contact the foundation.

How are your geographic focus areas determined?   WWF aligns its geographic focus to areas in which we host our charitable events. We are in the process of expanding our grants to the Boston area and will be accepting applications soon.

How much should we apply for?  We do not set certain giving levels, but instead will leave it open to grantees and their needs.

Do you fund individuals?   We do not provide funding to individuals. We currently only give grants to 501 (c)(3) organizations.

If we are not funded, how soon can we reapply?   You may reapply the following grant cycle.

Our proposal was denied for a grant, can we find out why?  Yes, you may contact the foundation via email at staff@weswelkerfoundation.com.

Our program has previously been awarded a grant from the Wes Welker Foundation. May we apply for another grant?  Yes you may apply for another grant. We evaluate each grant application based on need. However, we only give ONE grant per calendar year per team or organization. For example, if a school's high school football team received a grant, they cannot apply for another grant for one year. The same school's softball team, however, may apply for their own grant.
