Grant renewals are not automatic and cannot be guaranteed from year to year. Before applying for a renewal grant, contact your Program Officer to inform them of your plans to apply.

Grantees may apply for a renewal grant before the current grant period has ended. However, you are responsible for submitting a comprehensive Final Report on the results of the project supported by The Horizon Foundation grant. The report must be submitted at the same time as the renewal grant application.

If any part of your grant program has changed, you must contact your Program Officer.

Technical issues with the online application system are typically due to a cookie setting. The cookie setting must be on “low.” Please contact your own IT professional to find out how to change your setting. If you continue to experience technical issues, please contact cgsupport@cybergrants.com.
