SFF is announcing its 2025 grant round, here: SFF-2025 Application Announcement
Starting in 2025, SFF will be making some of its S-Process grant recommendations as Matching Pledges through the new Matching Pledge Program.

If you would like to apply for a Matching Pledge, you can complete the Matching Pledge portion of the SFF Funding Rolling Application to be considered for the program.
Annual compensation: $250,000 - $350,000
