Deadline: 19-Oct-21
The Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley (CFOV) is offering Community Impact Grants for nonprofit organizations in its service area.
While many of the charitable funds established at the Community Foundation for the Ohio Valley, Inc. have been either designated for a specific purpose or are otherwise restricted in their distribution, the Foundation has developed a pool of several unrestricted funds. These funds were accumulated from multiple donors who simply wanted to make an unrestricted gift and placed their trust in the Community Foundation to manage the gifts and their distributions.
Focus Areas
- Substance Abuse Prevention/Treatment
- Next Generation Leadership/Mentoring
- Youth Recreation/Activities
- Economic Development
Funding Information
It is rare for the Community Foundation to make a gift in an amount larger than $10,000; the typical award is somewhere between $1,500 and $5,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Be a 501(c)(3) as determined by the IRS, faith-based organization, or government entity (i.e. libraries, schools, etc.)
- Provide services within the counties of Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Tyler and Wetzel in West Virginia and Belmont and Jefferson in Ohio
- Be current on all final reports for grants from the Foundation; if your agency has a program currently being funded by the Foundation and your final report is not yet due, you must submit an interim report letting them know the progress of your program or project when applying for a new grant
