The Community Foundation is accepting applications for ongoing projects and programs designed to improve the quality of life in Thomas County as well as capacity building opportunities to support the future sustainability of their nonprofits.
Donor Name: Community Foundation of South Georgia
State: Georgia
County:
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 06/02/2023
Size of the Grant: $2,000
Details:
The Community Foundation will accept applications from organizations classified as tax-exempt under 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code as well as all 501(c)3 equivalent organizations. The Foundation looks for proposals from organizations with a well-planned approach to issues and needs, a demonstrated base of support, committed leadership, and the involvement of individuals with the skills necessary to carry out the work. They are interested in those organizations that can demonstrate they have planned their projects within their general operating budget in light of overall community need and that similar projects by other organizations do not duplicate the proposed services. A request which asks the Foundation to provide a portion of the support for a project will generally receive greater priority than one which looks to it as the single funding source. The Community Foundation is not interested in starting and supporting a new initiative that could not be maintained in future years without the continued financial support of the Community Foundation. The grants are available to support an organization’s ongoing administrative and infrastructure costs and/or to maintain existing, effective programs of the organization.
