Community foundations are often an overlooked funding resource for not-for-profit organizations. The procurement of funding from community foundations through grant writing is a very competitive process with many organizations vying for a limited number of grants. These highly sought-after grants can provide a funding source for capital improvements or other operational activities not traditionally allowed by grant funding authorities.
In today’s marketplace of shrinking funding from traditional sources, local community foundations may be a great source of funding. Contact your local community foundation for specific details on the grant review process and to inquire about any other eligible grant categories for your nonprofit organization. Paying attention to detail, honoring commitments to timelines, and articulating your specific need are some of the keys to submitting a winning grant application. CRI’s not-for-profit CPAs can provide financial statements or any other necessary financial documentation requested in your grant application. Give us a call for more information that will help your nonprofit organization land in victory lane.
