The Process

Helping groups in Southern California that improve the quality of life for children is especially rewarding because the goals of our foundation are really just extensions of the things that have always been important to us in our family. —Anders Eisner

Step One: Applicants to the Eisner Foundation must submit a Letter of Inquiry (no more than 2 pages) that includes a brief history of the organization, the population it serves, the programs it provides, and an explanation of why the organization thinks it would be a good partner for The Eisner Foundation.

In addition, the LOI should contain the following: Amount of funding requested, what you plan on doing with it, your expected outcomes, your budget for the specific program and/or organization as a whole, any additional funding sources, and an e-mail address at which we can reach you.

Please send initial Letters of Inquiry to the following address:

Trent Stamp
Executive Director
The Eisner Foundation
9401 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 735
Beverly Hills, CA 90212

Please use regular mail for submissions. Expedited services are unnecessary.

Step Two: If the LOI is a good fit with The Eisner Foundation’s philosophy, funding priorities, and expectations, the applicant will be sent a full application for completion and submission. Applicants will be notified of the Foundation’s timetable and review process at that time.
