The finest resource to answer any of your questions is:

Eva Yopes McMullen and her email is this. 

We invite you to circulate this.  It is of utmost importance to us that we conduct an equitable, inclusive, and rigorous search.  The announcement can too be found posted on multiple local and national boards.  Please alert Eva Yopes McMullen if you spot job boards we have missed as we will remedy that.

The application form on the website is distinct from what you have seen in the last six years.  It is shorter.  The online portal has not changed, hence your sign-in emails and passwords remain the same. 

As distinguished from inviting you to choose between composing a “project support application” or a “general operating support application” at the completion of the eligibility quiz, you will be directed to a general operating support application form.  It is our design to provide flexibility to those who are addressing our above-named priority.  We know some of you have not before now distinguished project titles and budgets on point. 

Please dare to teach us what has been laid bare and what you see as your next steps and our next steps.  Trust that we are inviting you to teach us, more than we need you to persuade us.

Furthermore, we have waived all former reporting requirements for all grants made in 2019, 2020, and 2021.  Would that you be afforded room to give undivided energy to all whom you serve. New opportunities to tell us what you uncovered and what you celebrate in your prior year will be available in your application processes.

The hundreds of earnest conversations we have shared in recent months via Zoom, phone, email, and other innovative means have been instrumental.  Thank you for shaping the priority of this foundation.  You have given your time generously in each call -- you have generated a response.
