Types of Grants
Currently, the Foundation has three Grant Types for their funding cycles. These types are as follows:
- Small Grants
- Designed to be an entry level grant that provides for the achievement of smaller projects or for smaller organizations with limited resources. The following guidelines apply to this grant type:
- Limited to a maximum award of $2,000.00 (can be less)
- No matching funds required but it is always good to show that the organization supports the project by providing some resources to the effort.
- All grant must achieve a minimum score of 65% to be funded.
- Designed to be an entry level grant that provides for the achievement of smaller projects or for smaller organizations with limited resources. The following guidelines apply to this grant type:
- Medium Grants
- These grants are by far the largest percentage of what they fund. The Medium Grants increase the award levels from the Small Grants and add some additional requirements. The following guidelines apply to this grant type:
- Limited to a maximum award of $5,000.000 (can be less).
- A $1 for $1 match is required but the match can be either cash or in-kind donations or services.
- All grants must achieve a minimum score of 65% to be funded.
- These grants are by far the largest percentage of what they fund. The Medium Grants increase the award levels from the Small Grants and add some additional requirements. The following guidelines apply to this grant type:
- Large Grants
- Designed specifically to be harder to achieve funding the type allows for funding of great projects that have larger costs but greater benefits. The following guidelines apply to this grant type:
- Unlimited in terms of dollars. However, the Foundation only has limited funds available to grant out to organization, thus the Foundation reserves the right to cap funding and/or provide funding over an extended period of time.
- Required $1 for $1 cash match. Example: An award for $10,000 would have to be matched with cash from the grantee of $10,000 or another non-county foundation source.
- All grants must achieve a minimum score of 75% to be funded.
- Designed specifically to be harder to achieve funding the type allows for funding of great projects that have larger costs but greater benefits. The following guidelines apply to this grant type:
