Deadline: 09-Jul-21
The BallenIsles Charities Foundation is now accepting applications from nonprofit and tax exempt organizations working within Northern Palm Beach County.
Priorities
In determining the merits and priority of an application, particular consideration will be given to:
- The seriousness of the problem and adequacy of the proposed program or project action.
- The capability of the organization and its personnel to achieve expected results.
- The degree of potential benefit to the community.
Grants are awarded PRIMARILY for projects or programs with specific budgets and measurement criteria. General operating expenses, personnel salaries, or overhead expenses will not be funded.
