What to Submit

Your application should be in two parts:

Part I: Grant Request Cover Letter OR Application Form

We invite you to submit either a grant request cover letter, OR fill out the Application Form provided. If you choose to write a grant request cover letter, please be concise (1-2 pages) and be sure to include:

• Your specific request (Your request should be clear, well thought out, and have realistic goals);
• Appropriate back up material to substantiate your request, i.e. budget, schedule, proposed outcome, etc.;
• If we are able to fund your request, indicate the specific geographic reach it would have, i.e. region, county, town; and
• Material that covers your agency's historical background.

You may use the Application Form provided as a guide for the information we are interested in receiving.

Part II: Grant Request Attachments

All agencies must submit current data that includes the following:

• Copy of your organization's IRS 501(c)(3) notification letter;
• Current list of board members;
• Most recent audited financial statement;
• Current IRS Form 990, if available;
• List of top 3-5 current business contributors and foundation grants including the level of support; and
