Funding Information
The Foundation Board has set a maximum project application limit per grant cycle of $12,000 and a minimum of $500.
Eligibility Criteria
- The Foundation can make grants to 501(c) (3) “tax-exempt” nonprofit Organizations and 170(b) “unit of government” organizations or an organization that is established for a “charitable purpose.” Grants will not be made that would jeopardize the taxexempt status of the Foundation.
- “Charitable purpose” means a purpose described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a benevolent, educational, philanthropic, humane, scientific, patriotic, social welfare or advocacy, public health, environmental conservation, civic, or other charitable objectives.
- Grants will not be made to tax supported organizations including an individual City and its infrastructure, but will provide funding to meet many other non-infrastructure community needs, which cannot be met by taxes, bond issues, or tax assessments. A City government is expected to fund its infrastructure requirements through direct taxation. For example, City infrastructure would include water, sewer, streets, etc. However, we would consider improvements and equipment for a library, park, swimming pool, and other recreational facilities, etc.
- If a nonprofit organization or volunteer group is under the City’s auspices (umbrella) to take advantage of the City’s tax—exempt status, a grant request from the volunteer group may be considered.
- The Foundation as well as the applicant will conduct business without discrimination on the basis of race, religion, gender, sexual preference, age, marital status, disability or national origin.
