Letters of inquiry for this year’s grant-making cycle are due by June 30.

The second step is a formal application process. Those letters of inquiry that are determined to meet the funding criteria will be invited to submit a formal application.

Those invited to apply will be notified by July 16. The deadline for the full application is Aug. 21.

The Benjamin N. Phillips Memorial Fund awards grants annually to a broad range of charitable organizations serving Clallam County. The fund is a legacy gift of Benjamin Phillips and was established following the death of Phillips’ second wife.
