The Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation (NCCF) is accepting Letters of Interest to the Community Benefit Grant program until March 1, 2018.
Letters of Interest are to include a brief project description, the estimated number of people impacted by the project, and the amount of funding requested. Letters need to be two pages or less and submitted electronically to edunn@nccfoundation.org. Eligible applicants must be IRS designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.
The Grants Committee will review each letter before selecting projects for further evaluation. Those organizations will then be requested to submit a full application. The committee gives priority to applications that address immediate and essential community needs, promising opportunities, and projects with the greatest community impact.
Twice a year (March and September) the NCCF considers grant proposals from nonprofit organizations that serve the community. Sixteen organizations received fall 2017 Community Benefit Grants totaling $63,954. The awards are made possible due to generous donors who have established Community Benefit Funds at the NCCF.
For help in submitting a Letter of Interest or for additional information, contact Eileen Dunn, Program Coordinator at 366-4892 or edunn@nccfoundation.org. To learn more about NCCF’s grants programs visit www.nccfoundation.org/grants-programs.
