We are not currently accepting FACES applications. However, we invite you to join our grant notification list and you will be notified when we launch a FACES cycle in your area.
The FACES application process has three steps, and you must complete all steps in order for your application to be considered.
1. Determine eligibility - please visit our FACES page to determine whether your organization is eligible to apply for a FACES grant.
2. Apply online - please submit your online application. Please note: you will not be able to save your application - it must be completed in one session or you will lose your information.
3. Submit a printed copy of the application (available after you complete the online version) with required attachments to our office at 18153 Village Center Drive, Olney, MD 20832.
