Priorities
In addition to the above, the following guidelines will be used in the prioritizing of grant requests:
- NDCF does not have a narrow area of focus. The Board looks at each project on its merits.
- The Board attempts to be as equitable as practical to the various geographic regions of the state.
- NDCF does not make multi-year grant commitments. You may submit a new request each year if additional funding is needed.
- The Board places emphasis on helping applicants that have limited access to other sources of funding.
- A low priority will be given to projects already substantially supported by government, or which in the opinion of the NDCF Board, can and should be provided for by taxes.
- Grants for sectarian projects will receive a low priority.
- Grants to national organizations will receive a low priority.
- Grants will be denied to organizations and projects that exist to influence legislation, carry on propaganda, participate in political campaigns, or which threaten to cause significant controversy or divisiveness.
- A low grant priority will be given to those organizations which field substantial fund-raising each year with paid and volunteer staff.
Considerations
In considering a formal grant request, Board Members will review the following:
- The possibility of a grant leveraging additional support.
- The level of local involvement and support.
- The number of people to be served and the impact of the program on the community.
- The degree to which the program duplicates or complements the work of other community organizations.
- The impact of the North Dakota Community Foundation’s grant on the success of the project.
Funding Information
Grants are generally $5,000 or less.
Eligiblity Criteria
Eligible organizations in the state include those designated by the IRS as 501(c)(3) non-profit tax exempt groups, government agencies, such as a park district or school district, or an organization that has one of the above acting as its fiscal sponsor.
