Review/Decision Timeline

Huntington empowers our markets to engage locally. We understand that each region faces its own challenges, and that regional and community executives understand the unique needs of their communities. Huntington’s regional leadership teams typically meet monthly to evaluate grant applications. The time it takes to review and decision requests varies based on the time of your grant submission, the time of year and the region.
