Funding Information
Each organization may submit only one (1) application for a single program/service, with a maximum request of $50,000.
Eligibility Criteria
Grants may only be awarded to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations. Organizations without 501(c)(3) status may participate only if a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serves as their fiscal sponsor and submits the application on their behalf. In this case, the non-501(c)(3) organization must be clearly identified in the application.
Ineligibility
Any application shall be disqualified if:
- Travel funding for training/conferences is requested.
- The total score of the application is less than 70%.
- Administrative and overhead costs exceed 10% of the total application request. Administrative costs are those incurred by grant recipients or sub-recipients in support of the day-to-day operations of their organization. These overhead costs are the expenses that are not directly tied to a specific program purpose.
- If the requested budget amount exceeds the $50,000 limit or if the proposed budget reflects any inaccuracies or errors in calculations.
- More than one application is submitted by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization for its own program/service, or by a non-501(c)(3) organization through any fiscal sponsor for the same or different programs/services.
