Grantees and community partners,

The Sherwood Foundation has been closely following the news surrounding COVId-19 and public health concerns.

  • In an effort to respond appropriately to the needs of our current nonprofit partners, The Sherwood Foundation, has decided to eliminate the open program/capital grant cycle for Fall 2020. Our reasoning for this is twofold—first, we are not funding new nonprofits at this time due to the COVID-19 crisis; and second, we do not wish to waste the time/energy of nonprofits on developing new programs when so many of our nonprofit partners are struggling financially. If you are experiencing extreme challenges due to COVID-19, please reach out to your designated Sherwood staff member.
  • The Sherwood Foundation offices at 808 Conagra Drive are closed until further notice.

    • Stay safe and be well – The Sherwood Foundation

 As of March 1, 2020 all online accounts will be disabled.  Please contact Tashayla Haywood at tashaylah@sherwoodfoundation.org for further instructions and additional information.  Thank you for your patience.
