Deadline: 13-Jul-20
The Ramona Community Foundation (RCF), an affiliate of the San Diego Foundation, has announced its annual call for grant applications.
In its 9th year of grantmaking, RCF invites nonprofit organizations and agencies to submit proposals that demonstrate the power to build a more vibrant Ramona community.
The goal of the grant cycle is to support programs that make Ramona a great place to live, work and play. Desirable projects will inspire community pride and revitalization, and increase the quality of life of the broader community.
Preference will be given to projects that clearly address Ramona-specific issues and needs.
Funding Information
RCF intends to award between $30,000 to $40,000 in grants for the 2020 cycle. RCF will accept proposals in a range of $1,500 to $5,000.
These projects should be practical, achievable within a 12-month time frame and have prospects for longterm sustainability. Funding may be used to expand existing programs, replicate programs tested in other communities or to launch totally new efforts.
RCF does not make grants for:
- Annual campaigns and fundraising events
- Stipends for attendance at conferences
- Endowments or “chairs”
- For-profit organizations and individuals unaffiliated with a qualified fiscal sponsor
- Projects that promote religious or political doctrine
- Research (medical or otherwise)
- Scholarships
- Existing obligations/debt
Eligibility Criteria
- To be eligible for a grant from RCF, organizations must have tax-exempt status and provide services in the community of Ramona.
- An organization may serve as a fiscal sponsor for a charitable organization that does not have tax-exempt status if a cooperative relationship between the two can be clearly demonstrated, and the fiscal sponsor must be willing to administer the grant if awarded.
- RCF at The San Diego Foundation does not make grants to supporting organizations or private, non-operating foundations.
