Funding Information
- Awards will generally range between $500 and $10,000. There may be a larger amount allocated (up to $20,000) for a project of particular significance or urgency for the community.
- All Quailwood General Fund grants will require a 1:1 match. For grants of $7,500 and under, a minimum of 50% of the match must be in cash. For grants over $7,500, a minimum of 25% of the match must be in cash. In both cases, the balance may be in donated goods and/or services.
- Applications for multi-year grants (up to 3 years) will be considered. The grantee will be required to file an annual report for review before the subsequent year’s funds will be released.
Who can apply?
- Nonprofit organizations (501(c)(3)) or public entities for programs and projects that serve/benefit the residents of and that take place in the Red Rock area.
- Applications will be accepted from nonprofit organizations (501(c)(3)) or public entities for programs/projects that serve/benefit the residents of, and that take place in, the Red Rock area as defined by the Quailwood Fund. The exception to this requirement is the Conservation Club whose projects must serve Red Rock residents but may not all be located in the Red Rock area.
- Applications for capital improvements, equipment purchase and other capital acquisitions will be considered provided that they afford maximum community benefit.
- While applications for publicly funded infrastructure projects (those paid for by tax dollars) are welcome, they need to focus on augmenting the public service rather than replacing them or building them anew.
- The Foundation does not support organizations which in their constitution, by-laws or practice, discriminate against a person or group on the basis of age, race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, political affiliation or religious belief.
