Funding Information
The Rosie Fund typically awards grants between $500 and $2,500 annually to local not-for-profits that provide services for women.
Criteria
Proposals are reviewed, evaluated, and recommended by the Grants Committee with the Community Foundation Board of Directors approving the final award recommendations. Because the Foundation cannot fund all the requests it receives, the Grants Committee and the Board of Directors rely on the following general policies and considerations for award selections.
- Grant applications are to adhere strictly to the grant application instructions.
- Grant awards are to be made only to those nonprofit organizations and programs operating within Kankakee County.
- Awards through the Rosie Fund are made only to organizations currently holding charitable 501(c)(3) classifications as designated by the Internal Revenue Service.
- Awards are intended to be made for one year at a time. Multiple-year awards may be considered if circumstances justify; however, potential for sustainability after the grant award period may receive favored judging. Please articulate commitments for sustaining your program.
- The evaluation process may include an on-site visit by Foundation representatives.
- Awardees may reapply in subsequent years by re-submitting full applications in subsequent funding cycles.
