Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $5,000
Summary
The Community Service Funding Grant is designed to support nonprofit organizations that provide community service programs benefiting local residents. Each fiscal year, funds are allocated to assist these organizations in delivering services that enhance the well-being of the community. The grant is intended to augment the efforts of nonprofit organizations and is not meant to replace or duplicate services already provided by local government.
Eligible applicants must be tax-exempt nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status. The funding is intended for specific programs or services that directly benefit the general community. Organizations cannot request funding for salaries, scholarships to high school or college students, or to pay off debt. The grant amount is capped at $5,000 per organization per fiscal year.
The application process requires organizations to submit a detailed proposal outlining the intended use of the funds, including a budget for the project or program. Applications are reviewed to ensure they meet the grant criteria and align with community needs. Special consideration is given to proposals that replace or enhance services normally provided by local government, as well as those with broad community appeal.
Organizations are encouraged to develop stable private funding sources and discouraged from over-reliance on public financial assistance to maintain programs on an ongoing basis. The grant funds must be expended within the fiscal year, and any unallocated funds will be returned to the general fund.
This grant opportunity provides nonprofit organizations with the resources needed to implement programs that serve the local community, fostering a collaborative approach to community development and well-being.
