Eligibility Criteria

Grants shall be awarded only to those organizations designated by the IRS as 501(c)(3) nonprofit tax exempt groups, or government agencies.
Grants shall be awarded to organizations within the city of Minot and surrounding communities, as determined by the Advisory Committee.
Grants to religious organizations are limited to those activities which are non-denominational and serve the entire community (e.g. food pantry, community daycare center, homeless shelter).
Only one (1) request per organization per year will be considered.
Deadline for requests is May 31 but may be extended at the discretion of the Advisory Committee.
In addition, more than one grant round may take place within the calendar year.
The Advisory Committee prioritizes requests for specific projects and programs. General support, operating, and sponsorships are considered low priority.
If the applicant organization is outside of the Minot area, please describe in the narrative section how the project or program will specifically serve Minot area residents. Provide the number of Minot area residents served, if known.
The grant committee welcomes requests for funding all or a portion of a large project, provided a grant from MCEF provides a significant impact on the project and/or community.
The grant committee strongly encourages applicants to review the list of past grant awards to get a sense for the size of awards and scope of projects before submitting a request (Grant History tab).
