Foundation Announces Summer Grant Deadlines
June 24, 2010
Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to apply for two grant
programs from the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore that have
application deadlines this summer.
Local nonprofits may apply for the next round of Technical
Mini Grants up though July 20th. The Technical Mini Grants will be
awarded in August. The deadline for applying for grants from the
Foundation’s Community Needs Program is August 2nd. The Community Needs
Grants will be awarded in October.
These competitive grants are awarded to benefit organizations
serving Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties at least twice each
year through the Community Foundation’s Nonprofit Support Program.
Grants are awarded to a wide range of nonprofit organizations that
benefit health and human services, education, arts and culture,
community affairs, environmental conservation, and historic preservation.
The purpose of the Technical Mini Grants program is to
provide grants for individual nonprofit agencies of up to $1,000 for
organizational development, the purchase of equipment, attendance at
training or other resources necessary to enhance their mission.
Generally, grants range from $100 up to a maximum of $1,000 per
nonprofit organization.
The Community Needs Grant Program provides program support to
local nonprofits with individual grant amounts likely to range from
$500 to $7,500. The deadline for submissions of applications for the
next grant cycle is August 2, 2010, with grants to be awarded in
October. The deadline for a second cycle of Community Needs Grants is
February 1st.
