The Community Foundation of West Texas is excited to announce the South Plains Foundation grants to encourage the development of programs for charitable purposes in Lubbock County, Texas.
Donor Name: The Community Foundation of West Texas
State: Texas
Counties: Lubbock County (TX)
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 02/01/2023
Size of the Grant: $10,000
Details:
Preference may be given to programs related to health care and/or educational services.
Grants are restricted to 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations, units of local government (i.e. school district, county, city, etc.) and faith-based organizations that serve the general community. Grants are typically limited to a maximum of $10,000. Awards are to be paid in one installment after an agreement letter is signed and returned from the grantee. Checks will be made payable to the institution or agency sponsoring the grant application.
The South Plains Foundation grants are generally small compared to those made by larger foundations. Therefore, a project budget cannot include “operating costs” or overhead costs. It is expected that all funds granted for a project will be used exclusively for that project. Any media materials or published materials developed by the institution/agency as a by-product of the grant should acknowledge the contribution of the South Plains Foundation.
The Process
After they receive your complete proposal, the South Plains Foundation Committee will review and make final recommendations to the Community Foundation of West Texas Board of Directors. Additional information or a site visit may be requested. You will be notified of the Board’s decision as soon as possible after the Board meeting at which your application is considered. All grant recipients must report on the expenditure of grant funds and results of the supported project within one year of the award.
