The Community Foundation seeks to invest in programs that provide services to residents of Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Otsego, and/or Tioga counties. Grant proposals should address a specific charitable, educational or cultural need, promote cooperation among agencies with similar programs, and incorporate a plan for tracking predicted outcomes.
Eligible Recipients:
- Any 501(c)(3) where a grant will benefit significantly (but not necessarily exclusively) residents of the Foundation’s service area: Broome, Chenango, Delaware, Otsego, and/or Tioga counties.
- Certain local government agencies, municipalities and public school systems within the Foundation’s service area.
- Organizations requiring a 501(c)(3) as a fiscal sponsor may be eligible to apply.
Eligible Projects:
- Program—proposals that address a specific program need.
- Capital—proposals for property purchase, equipment purchase, facilities improvement, and capital campaigns.
- Operating Support—proposals from established organizations (minimum of 10 years) that are in financial distress due to a reduction in traditional funding sources for operations (e.g. individual contributions, event revenue, federal/state/local budget reductions).
