Details:
Twice is Nice is seeking meaningful and measurable outcome proposals from Charlottesville Area nonprofit agencies who provide services to seniors in need within Planning District 10 (City of Charlottesville and/or the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson).
The Twice is Nice Grant Program funds programs that can empower seniors in need to live life as fully as possible while also managing the challenges that emerge later in life. TIN grants encourage new, innovative strategies and programs that support seniors in need within their community.
These grants will support specific programs/activities or general operations, thus advancing solutions to solve caregiving challenges and enhance the well-being of seniors in the community. Partnerships between organizations are encouraged, but optional, as are letters of support from partners, community members, and other stakeholders.
Funding Information
TIN’s grant-making capacity is a result of the previous year’s sales and revenue gains at their resale boutique stores in Charlottesville. Requests that align with TIN’s stated emphasis and do not exceed $15,000 are encouraged. There is no minimum request and partial funding is a possibility.
Eligibility Criteria
Applicant must be a 501(c)(3) organization, governmental agency, faith group, or fiscally sponsored by a 501(c)(3) organization. Twice is Nice will consider applications from organizations working to benefit vulnerable seniors in the City of Charlottesville and/or the counties of Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, and Nelson. Twice is Nice does not support building or capital campaigns through its discretionary fund grant programs. Small scale renovations that improve home safety and promote aging in place are permissible. Organizations may submit one application per TIN’s annual grant cycle.
Evaluation Criteria
The TIN Grants Review Committee will use the following criteria when reviewing proposals.
- Community Benefit – the proposed activity is responsive to the real needs of vulnerable seniors and advances equity and inclusion for that part of their community.
- Leadership – the leadership and personnel of the organization have the requisite skills and experience to carry out the proposed activities.
- Capacity and Feasibility – the organization has the programmatic approach and resources to conduct the proposed activity. Ideally, the value of gift-in-kind and volunteer resources are captured to demonstrate the full capacity of an applicant.
- Financial Health/Stability – the organization has a healthy budget and can complete the proposed activity with the available internal and external resources, including the use and results of previous TIN grants.
- Partnerships – the organization is aware of other organizations working on similar or related issues, and, when appropriate for achieving shared goals, has developed partnerships that are contributing to the success of the initiative.
