Details:
The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation was established in 1986 for the betterment of all community residents. To them, northern Chautauqua is more than a geographic region – it’s the place they call home. Because of that, they have worked hard to build a strong understanding of how it can be improved. Over the years, the NCCF has helped to create and fund many projects that enhance the lives of those who live here. Their interest areas span from arts and culture to the environment, to health and human services, to neighborhood revitalization, and beyond.
They seek to make strategic investments in the community and look to partner with nonprofit organizations to help create enduring solutions to often complex problems and to capitalize on promising opportunities. Effecting change requires both passion and measured thought, and they work hard to find proposals that encompass both.
Priorities
In determining the merits and priority of an application, NCCF will give particular consideration to:
- The degree of how the proposed project will potentially benefit the community.
- The capability of the organization and its personnel to achieve the desired results.
- Special consideration will be given to projects that include meaningful collaborations.
- Special consideration will be given to projects that can leverage additional funds, community resources, or both.
Funding Information
- While previous grants have ranged from $500-$15,000, historically their competitive grants have averaged $1,500 to $3,000.
- On a limited basis, they will consider grant support for two (2) years. In such instances, second-year funding will be contingent upon successful program outcomes from the previous year.
Eligibility Criteria
- Grant proposals must benefit the northern Chautauqua community.
- Applicant (or applicant’s fiscal sponsor) must be a 501(c)3 organization or an appropriate Not-for-profit.
- Individuals are not eligible to apply.
- At any given time, an organization can have only one grant open and can receive only one competitive grant per year. The failure of an applicant to properly close out a grant in a timely manner will be a factor when considering future grant requests.
