Application and approval process
All U.S. Educational Grant or Charitable Donation applications (collectively “Grant Application”) must be submitted to the Grants Committee at least ninety (90) days prior to the start of the proposed activity or educational program in order to allow appropriate review.
The open period to request a grant for all 2027 fellowships will be January 15th, 2026 – October 15th, 2026.
Although Kerecis WTR receives many worthy requests each year, due to a limited budget, we are unable to grant all requests. As well, previous approval of a specific grant request does not indicate future approval and the amount approved can be less than requested.
U.S. Grants Applications can be completed by the applicant using the on-line Educational Grant or Charitable Donation Application form and submitted directly to grants@kerecis.com. The Grant Application form below outlines the required supplemental documents and information necessary for a complete application. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed by the Grants Committee. There is no guarantee that any or all of the amount requested will be granted. Kerecis WTR may reject, approve in full or approve a lower amount than requested, at its absolute discretion.
Kerecis employees and sales representatives may not agree to make an Educational Grant, Charitable Donation, or to approve a proposed Grant Application prior to the consideration of a request by the Grants Committee and may not offer to influence the Grant Committee on behalf of any applicant. Under no circumstances may a Kerecis employee or sales representative state or suggest to a customer or potential customer that an Educational Grant or Charitable Donation may be available in connection with the purchase or order of any Kerecis products.
The Grants Committee will meet periodically as needed to review complete applications and will either approve or deny Grant Applications received since the previous Grants Committee meeting.
Educational Grants and Charitable Donations will only be issued directly from the Grants Committee to the grantee organization.
Kerecis WTR will maintain records of all Grant Applications, whether approved or not, and the decisions of the Grants Committee.
Do not assume an application has been approved. Applicants will receive notification of approval or denial after the Kerecis WTR Grants Committee has made its decision.
