Funding Information
Applicants may request a minimum of $3,000, and up to $60,000 per year, which may support a single program or multiple programs. A funding match is required: The funding request may be a maximum of 50 percent of the total cost of the proposed programming. Applicants must demonstrate at least a 1:1 match of other resources to support the work, which may include volunteer time and donated materials and space.
There are two application forms within the Impact Funding category:
- Level A: for organizations requesting under $20,000, or for organizations only proposing Beyond the Bell / Club Beyond classes
- Level B: for organizations requesting between $20,000 and $60,000
The application review panel will consider funding for Level A and Level B applications separately, to better support newer and smaller organizations, or those who are proposing programming that is smaller in scope. Both levels have the same sections and the same evaluation criteria.
