Email Submissions
The Foundation strongly encourages the submission of proposals
and attachments by email. For those submitting by email, the proposal
and required attachments should be emailed in PDF format only,
with the exception of the Funder Worksheets (see proposal requirements
below). The foundation prefers to receive one pdf file that includes
all proposal requirements.
Please send your proposal to skaufmann@pfs-llc.net
If you do not receive an email response within
2-3 business days confirming that your proposal has been received,
please contact Sunnie Kaufmann-Paulman, Program Coordinator at
(415) 561-6540 ext. 222. Please do not submit a paper copy of
your proposal if you have submitted by email.
Submissions by Mail
The Foundation will also accept a proposal submitted by mail
as long as it is postmarked by the due date of the program area
you are applying for.
The Morris Stulsaft Foundation is committed to minimizing its
impact on the environment. Please clasp the proposal materials
with a single binder clip; do not use staples. Do not send audio-visual
materials, binders, folders, or pamphlets unless requested. Please
do not provide a copy of your proposal via email if you choose
to mail a hard copy.
Proposals should be sent to:
