Applications for religious indoctrination or other religious activities, endowment building, deficit financing, fundraising, lobbying, electioneering, or activities of political nature will not be considered, nor will proposals for ads, sponsorships, or special events (e.g., fundraisers), and any proposals which discriminate as to race, gender, marital status, sexual orientation, age, disability, creed, or ethnicity.

Fiscal sponsors must agree to take legal and fiscal responsibility for accepting grant funds from CVCF on behalf of the ineligible organization. A letter from the fiscal sponsor must be submitted with the application for the project to be considered.
