About Renewal Funding

If you are a grantee partner that would like to be considered for renewal funding, please read all of the information below.

Eligibility Update: September 2025

Beginning with agencies that are awarded a grant in September 2025, the eligible period to submit a Request to Submit a Renewal Proposal form will be one year after your grant award.

If your organization was a grantee prior to September 2025, you will need to contact the VNA Foundation staff to determine next steps.

Process for Seeking Renewal Funding

Please note that your agency is eligible for a renewal request—unless noted otherwise by VNA team members—if you are asking for support for the same purpose that was previously funded.

The first step in the renewal process is to submit a Request to Submit a Renewal Proposal Form. The form can be found in our online grants management system in the “follow ups” section for your last grant. If after VNA’s review of the form you are notified that a renewal is invited, a renewal proposal will also need to be submitted.

Please note the deadline on the Request to Submit a Renewal Proposal form in our online grants management system is the last possible day it can be submitted.

It is ideal for agencies to remain in the same grants cycle as the previous year. For example, if awarded a grant in December, you would submit the Request to Submit a Renewal Proposal Form by the following September deadline. However, the form should be submitted after your six-month report. If the Request to Submit a Renewal Proposal Form is submitted before the six-month report, it will be held and reviewed in the cycle after the 6-month report is submitted.

If you submit the Request to Submit a Renewal Proposal Form after the deadline, it will be held and considered for the next cycle.
