Q: How do you pronounce the name of the Foundation?
The pronunciation of the name Replogle is: REP – lo – gul.
Q: When are decisions made?
The Board of Directors meets twice a year to make funding decisions, once in the autumn and once in the spring. The Board occasionally will defer a final decision on a request to a subsequent Board meeting even if an application has passed initial review; this delay is intended to ensure a thoughtful, informed decision.
Q: Why can’t I access the online application system to submit a new funding inquiry?
The online application system is only accessible to new inquiries while LOIs are being accepted. Deadlines will be stated on our “First-Time Applicants” page, and the form on that page will allow you to receive an email when unsolicited LOIs are next being accepted.
Q: Why can’t I find guidelines that fit my area of work?
We believe that the Foundation can be most effective by concentrating its resources in a few programmatic and/or geographic areas. Inevitably this means we cannot support many worthy projects outside our program interests.
The Foundation does not generally support:
- Activities that have a specific religious purpose
- Assistance for individuals
- Attendance at or travel to conferences or costs related to conferences
- Business (for-profit) organizations
- Chemical dependency treatment
- Endowments, except in very rare cases
- Health services or policy
- Services for seniors
- Travel
Q: Can I apply for a job, internship, or volunteer work at the Luther I. Replogle Foundation?
The Foundation operates with a staff of one. We appreciate the interest, but the Foundation does not accept resumes; does not offer volunteer or internship opportunities; and does not maintain employment or internship information about our grantees or other organizations.
Q: Is the Luther I. Replogle Foundation operated by the Replogle Globe Company?
No. Although Mr. Replogle was the founder of the Replogle Globe Company, the Foundation is no-longer affiliated with the Company. As of 2014, The Replogle Globe Company is independent and employee-owned.
