Deadline: 23-Jul-20
The Unity Foundation is currently accepting applications for the Power for Good Fund 2020.
The Unity Foundation Power for Good Fund was established to be responsive to local needs. This fund is permanent and only the earnings are spent each year. Because the fund is permanently endowed, these grants will be available to sustain local efforts for generations to come.
Funding Information
Requests should be at least $500 and no more than $3,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- Generally, only charitable organizations with verifiable 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, and operating or offering programs in La Porte County, Indiana, will be considered. Start-up or ad hoc organizations may not yet have obtained 501(c)(3) status. If that is the case, they suggest you find an organization to “host” the project or program and have them request funds with you.
- You may verify your exempt organization status by visiting IRS Exempt Organizations Select Check.
- Churches may request funds for non-sectarian purposes only, such as community programs/projects.
- Governmental bodies, such as townships and fire districts, as well as educational institutions, are also eligible; however, please note the additional restrictions for those organizations under General Grant Making Policies.
Evaluation Criteria
It is the general policy of Unity Foundation to operate without discrimination as to age, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or national origin in its overall administration and grant making. Diversity, creative community development, and problem solving are greatly encouraged. In reviewing grant proposals, Unity Foundation generally utilizes the following evaluation criteria:
- Is there an established need? Will the project/program achieve the desired result?
- Is it appropriate for Unity Foundation to make this grant or are there more compatible funding sources?
- Does Unity Foundation have adequate resources or is the program/project too big?
- Will Unity Foundation’s funds leverage additional resources?
- Does it fit with the Foundation’s areas of interest and geography?
- Does it foster collaboration?
- Does it have multiple impacts?
