Whitewater Community Foundation offers Community Action Grants for projects that their community and board of directors believe worthwhile and beneficial to various segments of the population.
Donor Name: Whitewater Community Foundation
State: Wisconsin
City: Whitewater
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 10/31/2022
Details:
The Whitewater Community Foundation has emphasized providing scholarships for high school graduates and will continue this worthy community endeavor. Significant funding has been contributed for scholarships by benevolent local residents and companies and through wills.
The Foundation has an unrestricted General Fund from which to support Community Action projects. This is a new endeavor, and the General Fund is relatively small. There may be limits placed on the amount that is allocated to community projects. Thus, support for worthy
project requests may not be approved even though the Board of Directors would like to offer a grant.
Purposes for which funds may be requested
Applicants need to conform with the Foundation’s mission, including but not limited to education, arts, economic development, and improving the Whitewater Community [equals the Whitewater School District.]
- Projects should be for educational, cultural, charitable or benevolent purposes that will benefit and improve the Whitewater community.
- Projects covered might include non-profit “economic development.”
- Projects should be creative, innovative and address community needs.
- Projects are expected to be accomplished within a specific period of time, generally not more than one year.
Eligibility Criteria
The Foundation also offers fiscal sponsorship to organizations that are seeking 501(c)(3) status or require temporary pass through funds for worthy community projects.
