Shopping with Dignity
Yes, we partner and work along side faith-based, non-profit organizations and require a referral source for all individuals. The referral form (found on the website) will provide us with the necessary contact information for the client. This enables us to reach out to the client and set up a day and time for the shopping trip.
Saturday and Sunday are options for the shopping trip. We strive to accommodate our clients’ work and family schedules to best meet their needs.
We also support individuals transitioning into new, independent living environments. For example, we assist young adults who have aged out of the foster care system and have their rent covered but lack the resources for essential household items to make their home comfortable, functional, and stable.
We request that referred clients be actively engaged within your organization a minimum of six months working toward stable, independent living. Our goal is to collaborate closely with you, providing support for your efforts with each of your ongoing clients.

Email notification of the date set for the trip will be sent to you, as well as a shopping summary outlining the shopping visit once it is complete.

Yes, each applicant who submits an application will be invited to meet with a representative from the Trapp Foundation. We schedule site visits to gain a deeper understanding of your organization’s mission and needs.
The Trapp Foundation requests that applicants submit no more than one request per year. This time limitation allows both the applicants and Trapp Foundation staff to prepare and review proposals more thoroughly.
Applicants whose projects are not funded by the Trapp Foundation may submit another request 12 months after the date of their previous submission.
Under normal circumstances, Trapp Foundation staff will review the initial inquiry and request any additional information within two weeks of receipt. If the decision is made to proceed, the applicant will be invited to submit a full proposal and a site visit will be requested. Applicants will receive written notification of the outcome of their request, typically within two to four weeks of submitting the full application.
