Deadline: 1-Apr-21
The Hamilton Community Foundation has launched a grant program to help address unmet and emerging charitable needs in Hamilton County.
Grants are generally awarded to cover projects that are completed within 12 months of the grant application. Funds spent prior to grant approval do not qualify as an eligible grant expense. If you are requesting funds for a portion of the project, please outline the details in your application.
Each approved grant is often offset by requests that could not be funded. It is important that organizations request only the funds needed to complete the project.
Ineligible Funding
The Foundation does not provide grant funding for the following:
- Expenditures incurred prior to formal grant approval.
- Tax-supported school systems or municipalities.
- More than 50% of a project.
- Ongoing operating expenses.
- Training, Events, Workshops, and Conference.
- Organizations with unused funds from a prior grant.
Eligibility Criteria
Guidelines for consideration include:
- Organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status under the IRS.
- A demonstrated need for this project/program in the community.
- The project has a direct impact on Hamilton County residents.
- Requests from organizations that have operated successfully for at least one year and demonstrate an ability to enlist financial support from the public.
- Funding for the project is limited or unavailable from other sources.
