Details:
Waupaca Area Community Foundation Fund grant money comes from fundraising activities — including an annual gala — and unrestricted funds that donors established intending that volunteer board members determine the best ways to use the grant money to address community needs. Competitive Grants are available for projects and programs in the areas of arts and culture, community development, education, environment, health and human services.
Foundation Funds
- Creative new activities or services: New programs, one-time projects, events, exhibits, studies or surveys.
- Enhancement or strengthening of existing activities: Projects to enhance, expand or strengthen the range, quantity and/or quality of an organization’s programs and services.
- Small capital investments: Items that are directly related to program delivery or service to clients, such as a refrigerator for a food pantry or equipment to comply with ADA requirements.
- Recurring events: Exhibits, presentations, performances or non-fundraising events that occur on a periodic basis. Grants will only support the same program or project for a maximum of three years.
Funding Information
Applicants may submit one application per organization of up to $7,500.
Eligibility Criteria
- Organizations eligible to receive grants from the Foundation are generally those determined by the IRS to be public charities. Such organizations include:
- Most charitable, scientific, social service, educational, and religious organizations described in Section 501(c)(3) and 509(a)(1), (a)(2), or (a)(3) of the tax code, as well as private operating foundations. (The Foundation will not typically make grants to private non-operating foundations.)
- Grants may also be made to government entities and instrumentalities (this includes schools, municipalities, and Native American tribal governments) for public purposes.
- Organizations that do not fall in these categories are generally ineligible unless they apply through a fiscal sponsor, or meet other eligibility requirements. In some circumstances, grants may be made to other types of organizations as long as the grant is restricted and structured for charitable purposes.
