Details:
In 1992 the Tempe Community Foundation Endowment Fund of the Arizona Community Foundation (ACF) was established in order to create a permanently endowed fund that provides financial support for human services programs and for other endeavors that would enhance the quality of life for residents of Tempe, Arizona. Today the endowment has grown to more than $1 million and has allocated over $100,000 to numerous human service agencies serving Tempe residents. This process was previously overseen by a Board of Advisors.
Types of Grant
Prior to sending out the request for proposals, the TCC Community Impact Committee will review the 2021 Tempe Comprehensive Human Services Needs Assessment and the feedback obtain from the TCC facilitated Community of Practice convenings. The Board will consider the funding of the following grant type.
- Collaboration Grant – The Board will dedicate up to $50,000 annually for up to a two-year period to support the implementation of a collaborative program/service that meets the eligibility requirements listed below. It is expected that one such grant would be supported each year. Second year funding will be dependent on demonstrating successful progress during the first year. Collaboration is defined as intent to commit resources as described in the proposal, should the proposal be funded. This should go beyond accepting referrals from the lead applicant.
(NOTE: In order to have adequate funds to support these grants and/or any additional grants that may be determined appropriate, monies from the two funds will be combined for purposes of the grant awards.)
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible a grant applicant must meet the following requirements:
- The lead grant applicant must be a not-for profit entity that provides human services programs or other types of services in Tempe to enhance the quality of life for the residents of Tempe.
- Grant application focus is on an innovative program/service focused on mental health, and/or substance abuse and/or wellbeing. Collaboration between at least 2 agencies is required.
