Apply for a Grant

To begin the grant application process, please fill out the following form.

Quest for the Best provides funds for project-based grants. A “project-based” grant request is an application for funding for a specific project, program or purchase. Examples of previously approved project-based grant requests include purchasing furniture for a Shelter’s family room, computers for a museum, funds to support an after-school program’s trip to tour multiple colleges and funds to support a specific program at a zoo. Please keep in mind that operational costs, such as rent, overhead, training and salaries, etc., do not fall into the category of a project-based grant request.
