Deadline: 1-Oct-22
The Sisters of Charity Foundation of Cleveland is seeking applications for its Good Samaritan Grants Program to support non-profit organizations for which a modest grant would make a difference in continuing to provide necessary and immediate goods and services to individuals living in poverty.
The Good Samaritan Program responds to their community’s challenge of ensuring that its residents can meet their basic needs. Basic needs are primarily defined as food, clothing, emergency shelter, and transportation to access services. As they have learned studying the social determinants of health, they also recognize the basic needs of utilities & hygiene products, identification, stipends, and short-term medications and/or medical supplies. They also consider support of physical and mental well-being, self-sufficiency, relationships and social connection, internet access, cash assistance, and narrowing their geographic focus as essential to the wellbeing of their community.
Funding Information
Grant requests are for $5,000 (partial funding will not be awarded). Funding requests always exceed the grant program budget for this competitive program, and priority is given to those organizations with annual budgets under $1 million and based in or serving Cleveland's Central neighborhood.
