As a finding aide to PYM Members and others, we maintain a directory of Quaker grantmaking activity and other resources available in the PYM region. We also include additional resources for grant-seekers and first-time grant writers. For an overview of PYM’s grantmaking, be sure to check out the PYM Grants site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’re a prospective grant seeker, you should direct any questions about the following organizations to the organization in question; while we strive to maintain this directory as accurately as possible, the organization itself will have the most up-to-date information. Organizations’ grantmaking timing, application and guidelines change over time. We recommend grant seekers be in contact with\u00a0 the organization managing the fund before applying.<\/p>\n
