Apply for a Grant - Application Deadline is noon on Nov 17

The Community Foundation of Greater Muscatine has a limited amount of money available for grants to improve our quality of life, strenthen families, promote youth activities, and meet community needs.

These grants serve several purposes:

• They are intended to actually improve the appeal and opportunity of our community.
• They provide opportunities for people to work for the improvement of our common situation.
• They show other donors how much good can result from small amounts of money and large amounts of enthusiasm.
• They help people understand the role of philanthropy in making this community a better place to live and work.

Complete the Grant Request Form. Be sure to describe the project in the space provided. In 2 or 3 sentences include the description, who will benefit and specifically how you will use the grant. You may attach up to two pages of additional information. Please include a brief budget if your project is over $2,000. If you are asking for a portion of the total costs, include your plan to fund the remainder. The Granting Committee may investigate your proposal to ensure its validity and ascertain its relevance to the intention of the donor who made the granting fund possible. Because of limited available funds, the Granting Committee does not traditionally award monies for on-going or recurring programs. Additionally, they have chosen not to fund trips outside of the area.

As a grant recipient, you will be required to provide a final report, send digital photos, and submit receipts to prove your expenditures.

Download a Grant Request Form from one of the links to the right to get started. Grant requests approved by the Granting Committee will be forwarded to the Board for approval at the next Board meeting. Applicants will be notified following the Board meeting whether their grant request has been approved or declined.

Good luck in your endeavor!
