1. Must be a nonprofit group with a dedicated mission (501c3)
In order to receive a grant, your organization will be voted on at our annual grant meeting (11/1), based on the following criteria:
1. Must be a nonprofit group with a dedicated mission (501c3)
2. Must have programs/practices preventing child abuse
3. Must be located in Allen County, Indiana or Allen County contiguous counties
4. Cannot be government sponsored agencies or foundations
5. Grants would be used for program enhancement purposes within organization
We require a white paper to be submitted for grant applications. The paper should describe some current issue related to child abuse and/or its prevention or treatment and highlight the issue rather than the specific applicant’s programs.
A grant application and all supporting data must be submitted to the Foundation by November 1st of each year. Grant decisions are made at the annual grant meeting of the Board of Directors.
Agencies who are awarded a grant must return an Agreement Letter to the foundation by December 1. Grant checks will be presented in December, with the new grant cycle beginning January 1st.
A grant report must be submitted at six months and when the grant project is completed. Recipients of a new grant must submit previous grant report documents with the agreement letter for the grant. Failure to submit a final report may jeopardize future grants.
