Eligibility Criteria
- You must be a tax-exempt organization or have a nonprofit fiscal sponsor.
- All applicants must be defined as tax-exempt organizations under Section 501(c)(3) or any applicable statute of the Internal Revenue code. While grants are occasionally made to governmental agencies, local nonprofits receive priority. Requests will be considered from nonprofit groups and community organizations that do not have tax-exemption status, provided that they have a fiscal agent with the appropriate tax status. Projects that involve partnerships among multiple agencies require one agency with the appropriate tax status and financial management capacity to assume the role of lead organization.
