Deadline: 8-Jan-21
The Community Foundation of Central Georgia (CFCG) is seeking applications for its Nonprofit Grant Program to support the ability of community-based charitable organizations to meet the needs of the residents of this region.
Through its Nonprofit Grant Program, CFCG will consider applications for projects designed to improve the quality of life in Central Georgia.
Funding Priority
Priority will be given to projects that demonstrate a majority of the following:
- Ability to scale proven solutions to make a larger impact.
- Reach a broad segment of the community.
- Improve organizational efficiency.
- Encourage self-help and/or self-sufficiency on the part of disadvantaged or disabled individuals.
- Promote matching gifts and/or enhance fundraising capabilities.
- Collaborate with other nonprofit groups to provide innovative, more efficient approaches to solving community issues.
Funding Information
- The maximum grant awarded by the Community Foundation of Central Georgia through the Nonprofit Grant Program is $25,000.
- Please note that the average grant size ranges between $10,000 – $15,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Geographic restrictions:
- Grant applications must have direct relevance to the Central Georgia region.
- While there are two application deadlines per year, CFCG will consider only one proposal from anyone nonprofit organization during a twelve-month period. In addition, any organization with two years of consecutive funding from the Community Foundation will be required to wait two years before submitting an additional application. For example, if an organization is funded in the June 2018 and June 2019 cycles, that organization will be ineligible to apply again until June 2021. Any organization that has received prior funding from the Community Foundation must have a final report on file at CFCG prior to the submission of a new grant application, in order to be considered for funding.
- Please note:
- Operational expenses are usually not funded through this grant program but will be considered this round, due to hardships created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The Foundation will consider applications from faith-based organizations for non-sectarian, community outreach programs.
- Requests for scholarships to send children to summer or after school camp will not be funded.
