The Warren County Foundation currently tends
to make grants in amounts ranging from a few hundred dollars
to a few thousand dollars. Because these discretionary grant-making
funds are limited each year, the Grants Committee reviews
each proposal carefully and considers the criteria listed
below.
Subject to available funds, the Warren County
Foundation is more likely to award discretionary grants to
organizations that demonstrate that their proposed projects:
- Make a clear difference
in the quality of life of a substantial number of Warren
Countians
- Demonstrate tangible solutions to community
problems
- Help non-profit organizations manage themselves
and their finances more effectively
- Focus on prevention
- Encourage cooperation and eliminate duplication
of service
- Stimulate others to participate in problem-solving
- Promote volunteer involvement
- Promote leverage for generating additional
funds
Generally discretionary grants are not awarded
to:
- Any organization not exempt under IRS 501(c)3
guidelines
- Ongoing operating expenses of existing institutions
- Individuals
- Religious organizations for religious purposes
- Endowments
- Scholarships and scholarly or medical research
- Annual fund-raising drives
- Community services which are primarily supported
by tax dollars
- Travel grants
If, having reviewed the guidelines, you have
a question about whether a project may or may not qualify
for funding, please call the Warren County Foundation at (513)
934-1001, and we will be happy to discuss it with you.
