Make your community better. Bring a great idea to life.
If your charitable organization has a community improvement project that needs a little financial help to come to fruition, take a few minutes to submit a Community Benefit Grants Program proposal to The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation (NCCF) highlighting what the charitable organization wants to achieve and how it will do that.
In no more than two pages, identify a community need or new opportunity and include:
— A brief project description. Explain how this project furthers the organization's mission.
— The measurable impacts anticipated. Indicate the number of people expected to benefit, specific community benefits, or both.
— The total project cost and specific amount requested.
— The signature of the Executive Director or President of the charitable organization and the name and contact information of the primary person responsible for the proposal.
Letter of Interest proposals must be sent electronically to NCCF Grants Program Coordinator Eileen Ardillo at eardillo@nccfoundation.org by Tuesday.
Learn more by visiting nccfoundation.org/helping-nonprofits/, where detailed eligibility requirements and guidelines are available.
After review by the NCCF Grants Committee, selected organizations will be invited to submit full grant applications.
The Community Benefit Grants Program is made possible through the generosity of donors who have established or contributed to Community Funds at the NCCF. Community Funds allow the NCCF's Board of Directors flexibility to address the community's emergent needs and maximize opportunities as they arise.
