Details:
The Community Foundation is honored to serve the Fox River Valley area through their discretionary grant making program which is made possible by their generous donors. This program demonstrates their donors’ commitment to strengthen their community by supporting the vital work of local nonprofits.
The discretionary grant making program supports the work of nonprofits within our service area in the following designated charitable categories: Arts and Humanities, Education, Health Care, and Social Services. These grants are for capital purposes only. Agencies should be “project ready” with estimates and a timeline for completion within the next year.
Grant Period
- Grants are ordinarily made for one year only.
Eligibility Criteria
- Grants are made to non-profit agencies located in the Community Foundation service area which includes the Greater Aurora Area, the TriCities, and Kendall County in the State of Illinois. Consideration is also given to non- profit agencies outside of the service area that can show significant impact on residents within the service area.
- Applicants will need to submit evidence of 501(c) (3) and 170(b) (1) (A) tax status. Please note that 170(b) (1) (A) status is often included on the 501(c) (3) document from the IRS. Applicants should also be tax exempt with the Illinois Department of Revenue.
- In light of the Community Foundation’s limited resources and in fairness to the many organizations seeking support, former grant recipients are asked to wait at least two full years from the date they received payment of a grant from the Community Foundation before applying for a new grant.
- The Community Foundation rarely provides the entire support of a project.
- Grants are not generally available to those agencies and institutions that are funded primarily through tax support. Grade schools, middle school, and high schools (both public and private) are not eligible to apply.
- Community Foundation grants are intended to support charitable projects that utilize companies, firms or vendors whose principal offices are located within the Community Foundation service area. Since funds that support the
- Community Foundation Grant making Program are received from local donors, every effort should be made to return these grant dollars to the local community.
