Application

The Barlow Family Foundation is looking for projects that will make a difference in the lives of people in our community. We are especially interested in education because both Bob and Jerene Barlow made education a priority in their contributions.

Areas of Interest:

  • Education
  • Health
  • Arts

The Barlow Family Foundation gives funding to non-profit organizations with U.S. tax-exempt status only: 501(c)(3).

As we get more applications, we would like to favor new projects which need help to get started. Therefore, repetitive requests may or may not be considered.

We will favor matching fund applications.

We Do Not Consider:

  • expenses
  • athletics
  • endowments
  • religious programs
  • scholarships
  • lobbying
  • gifts to individuals
  • marketing

Geographical Restrictions:
The Barlow Family Foundation operates with a 25-mile radius of Iowa Falls, IA.

Grant Applications:
Grants will be awarded up to $25,000.

General Guidelines:

  • Requests are accepted year-round but will be reviewed only twice a year. Applications are due on March 1 and October 1.
  • All applications must be submitted in writing on standard-sized paper. Do not send emails.
  • Incomplete applications will not be reviewed.
  • Your application must include a copy of your organization’s IRS tax-exempt letter.
  • Please remember that we are a small foundation and can only fund a few of the grant applications that we receive.

Deadlines:
Grant applications are reviewed on March 1 and October 1 with notification to applicants provided within ten business days.
