November 29, 2011
The Community
Foundation of the Eastern Shore is encouraging local nonprofits to
submit Letters of Inquiry for programs or projects that may qualify for grants
from the Foundation’s Small Grants Program.
The Small Grants Program provides
funding for nonprofit and faith-based community service organizations in
Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester Counties to address a wide range of needs
including pilot projects, emergencies, organizational improvement, capacity
building, equipment purchases, as well as attendance at programs. Grants are typically in the $200 -$2,000
range.
The following programs/funds are part of the Small Grants Program:
- Technical Mini Grant Program
- Help Your Neighbor Program
- ShoreCAN Mini Grant Program
- Chairman’s Fund
- Field of Interest Funds
- Designated Funds
There is no deadline for submission. Letters of inquiry are reviewed on an ongoing
basis.
Following an initial review by the CFES staff,
requests to the Small Grants Program will be referred to the appropriate CFES Fund,
which may have additional application requirements. Interested applicants to CFES should review
the guidelines for the Small Grants Program available at www.cfes.org/grants.
Any questions or comments
should be directed to Erica Joseph, Program & Development Director, at joseph@cfes.org or call 410-742-9911.
