Additional Information
Adherence to deadlines, guidelines, and application information requirements is essential. Anything less may delay consideration of your request.

• After the application and supporting documents are received, and upon review of the proposal, the organization may be contacted to proceed to the second phase of our Distribution cycle which may include a site visit if the application is accepted for further consideration. If an applicant does not proceed to phase two, the Foundation will notify the organization in writing of this decision.
• If an organization is approved for funding, it must wait two years from the funding cycle in which they are approved to be able to apply again. For instance, if you are approved in the first of our three funding cycles in 2012, you may not apply again until the first funding cycle in 2014.
• If an organization is not approved for funding, it must wait until the following calendar year to reapply for funding as only one application per calendar year is allowed. When reapplying it must be for a different request than from the one that was previously denied. On occasion, the Foundation may, by invitation only, permit an organization to reapply with the same request which may or may not include additional requests for data.
• Approved grants are generally $5,000 minimum. Average grants are between $10,000 to $12,000. A grant in excess of $15,000 may be considered.
• For any agency applicant proposing the provision of services to a partnering agency (i.e., a school within a District), a letter of support from a person of appropriate authority in the partnering agency must be submitted with the request.
• All organizations supported by a Board of Directors will need to show approval by their respective Board for the proposal (i.e. Board Resolution Form).
• The grant recipient is required to submit a final report evaluating the outcome of the program and/or the use of funds, along with photos if available, within 90 days of the grant’s approval in order to be eligible for future funding.
• The organization should be able to support the Community Foundation of the Verdugos in its media efforts by issuing press releases or publicizing the grant in its own publications, signage, plaques, etc.

Grants are made three times a year. Deadlines for the 2012 grant applications are February 1, June 1, and September 1. Only one proposal from an organization is permitted per calendar year. Approval or denial of your request will be provided to you in writing. The Community Foundation of the Verdugos wants to be of help whenever possible. Adherence to these guidelines will help us in our efforts on your behalf. Please email any questions to us at info@communityfoundationoftheverdugos.org.
