YOUR GRANTING GUIDELINES

You May Recommend Grants:

•   Locally, regionally, and nationally
 
To qualified: Nonprofit charities
Schools
Government programs
Faith-based organizations
International charities with a U.S. recipient entity
 
To organizations you support as a board member, as long as there is no personal benefit to you or your family

To make the most efficient use of the resources of the Community Foundation and of the receiving organizations, minimum grant recommendations of $500 are strongly preferred.

Federal Regulations Disallow Certain Types Of Granting:

•   To individuals (except through a Scholarship Fund)
 
Grants that provide a benefit to a donor or donor advisor. Examples include:
        Membership dues
Auction items
Tickets to charitable functions
Priority seating at sporting events
 
Scholarships through a Donor Advised Fund
    Ask us how to establish a Scholarship Fund to achieve your goals
 
To fulfill personal pledges or obligations

Once our staff receives your recommendation that the Community Foundation make a pledge from your fund, we submit it to our Board of Directors for approval. If approved, our staff advises the charitable organization that the Community Foundation is making a pledge through your Fund, and we will outline the terms and conditions you have recommended to us.

For assistance, contact Anne Digenis, Donor Services and Grants Officer, at 360.694.2550 or by using our Contact Us Online form.
