Grant FAQs
Below are some questions we would encourage you to think about as you consider what program and/or project for which you are requesting funding.
- Is the need being met a chronic or crisis need? (1 time vs. on-going)
- If the need is chronic, does the program/project work to address the root of the chronic need, or are other services in place to do so?
- Does this program/project empower those being served?
- Will this program build sustainability?
- Increasing membership, networking and communication, financial resources, human capital, etc.
- Does this program/project build collaboration?
- Are there representatives from businesses, community members, clients, non-profit peers involved in its direction and success?
- Are other similar programs/projects already happening the community?
- How will this project partner/share best practice/evaluate needs with existing programming?
