The Kenan Trust open submission period is now closed. The deadline was July 1 at 5 p.m., and we are no longer accepting Letters of Inquiry for this grant cycle. Please visit our website in fall 2026 for details about the next open submission window.

If you submitted a Letter of Inquiry for the Trust’s consideration before the July 1 deadline, you can expect to hear from us in fall of 2026 about your submission status and any potential next steps.
