Details:
Wabash Valley Community Foundation Inc., has focused on improving the quality of life of individuals residing within the Wabash Valley. With its mission of engaging people, building resources and enriching lives, the Community Foundation has partnered with generous individuals, families and organizations to achieve its vision of a healthy, educated and thriving community.
In these times, the issues of mental health, substance use and homelessness are at the forefront of their communities; the Community Foundation recognizes that some individuals within their service area can benefit from additional assistance necessary to achieve its vision.
The Community Foundation is offering two funding opportunities aimed at addressing issues related to mental health, substance use and/or homelessness within its service area of Clay, Sullivan and Vigo counties.
Given the limited funding available, the Community Foundation seeks to fund programs that are proven in efficacy, either locally or in communities similar to ours, that can be replicated within Clay, Sullivan and/or Vigo counties.
The Community Foundation will offer grant funds under two different programs
- Supporting Grants
- The Community Foundation will provide up to ten (10) Supporting Grants of up to $10,000 each. These grants are one-time grants and could be used to provide supplies, training and equipment to enhance existing programs.
- Leadership Grants
- The Community Foundation will award grants ranging from $25,000 to $100,000 that may be renewed for a second and third year based upon the Grantee achieving the metrics defined within the proposal. The Leadership Grant should reflect collaborative efforts, organizational commitment and represent investments with measurable results and can produce lasting and impactful outcomes.
The following criteria, among others, will be reviewed by the Community Foundation board, volunteers, staff and others:
- Compelling challenge or opportunity
- Extent of local benefit and/or impact
- Collaboration
- Feasibility
- Rationale
- Community Partnerships
- Evidence of successful implementation, either locally or elsewhere.
- Financial Sustainability
- Local Consensus about the issues to be addressed.
