Deadline: 08/31/2022
Details:
The Community Foundation for Crawford County is serving as a catalyst supporting the good work of non-profit organizations and collaborating in response to the needs and interests of the residents of Crawford County.
Beginning with the 2022 second grant cycle, the Foundation has changed their grant application. Recognizing the value of Collective Impact, the Foundation has been partnering with United Way of North Central Ohio to better align their grant making process and goals.
Eligibility Criteria
As a community foundation described in their Articles of Incorporation, The Community Foundation for Crawford County may only consider requests from organizations designated as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code including governmental units. This means that most organizations must have applied to the IRS and received a letter from them granting tax-exempt status. In addition, governmental units are considered tax-exempt, such as a county, city, or public school board. A number assigned by the IRS for bank accounts does not necessarily mean an organization has tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3).
Ineligible Requests

- Religious purposes, except for “designated” grants which have been accepted by the Foundation;
- Graduate fellowships and travel grants to individuals, except for “designated” grants/scholarships that have been accepted by the Foundation;
- Those organizations that have not completed prior grant requirements or have a current grant that is not in good standing; or
- Those organizations that are not in good standing with the Ohio Secretary of State or their 501(c)3 is not current.
