Deadline: 19-Jan-22
The Northern Piedmont Community Foundation (NPCF) is pleased to announce a call for proposals for the Community Assistance Grant Program.
Grants are allocated for program services as well as general operating support. This grant award provides unrestricted funding to help organizations with on-going or emergent needs. By emergent, they mean that the grant awards may fund a specific program or project in which needs are immediate in nature and address or alleviate hardship. They encourage collaborative proposals that build and develop community resources and partnerships.
- help sustain successful existing programs;
- scale-up existing programs in the number/areas served;
- make quality improvements to existing programs;
- start new programs; or
- make purchases for needed equipment, supplies, or training
Priority consideration will be given to nonprofits demonstrating strong management and a proven track record of accomplishments.
Funding Information
Award amounts generally range from $5,000 to $25,000.
Eligibility Criteria
The Community Assistance Grant program invites proposals for projects from 501(c)(3) nonprofits that have been in operation for at least three years, and who deliver services within Fauquier, Rappahannock and Northern Culpeper counties.
Criteria
To all of you creating an LOI – they ask for brevity. This is not meant to be an application. Although they are asking a number of question, they do ask that you find ways to summarize – both for your own mental health and for the evaluators.
Please include the following in your 1-2 page letter of inquiry:
- a brief overview of your organization’s history and mission,
- a description of the proposed project,
- how your project addresses an emergent community need,
- statement of need: describe your project’s target population and impacted geographic area–including how many individuals/groups will be reached,
- the expected outcome of your project, and how you plan to evaluate the progress of your project if it is funded.
