Grant Application Procedures beginning 2025


To be considered for assistance, an organization needs to complete the Grant Request Application located at the bottom of this page.  Additional documentation should include the objectives, time schedule, budget, evaluation procedures, and information describing the organization's leadership team and board of trustees.   A copy of the Determination Letter from the IRS demonstrating 501(c)(3) status should accompany the application.


Submitting Grant Applications


Grant applications can be submitted in person, by mail* or by email.  

*Preferred method for submission is by mail. See contact page for details.

If opting to submit by email, please note additional requirements and information:

  • Maximum of 6 pages
  • Prefer all documents in one (1) .pdf attachment
  • All documents will be printed in black and white for the review process
  • All emailed applications will receive an email acknowledgement of receipt.  If you haven’t received an acknowledgement with 48 hours of submitting, please contact by phone to confirm receipt.  Occasionally applications end up in the spam folder.

 

Eligibility Considerations and Requirements


Grant applications will be accepted only from organizations which are tax exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code.  No grants to individuals can be made.  Only one grant per year to any agency is usually considered.  All grant requests must be submitted in writing and contain the elements discussed above.
