Grant Application

Grant Application

FCF grant period opens on May 1 and closes on September 30 of each year.
Thank you for applying for a Fanwood Community Foundation grant. Our core mission is to provide grant money to 501(c)3 organizations that serve the Fanwood community. If the organization/project does not directly meet that requirement, please provide additional details on why you feel we should consider your request. Applications must be received by September 30.

Confine your request to a single program or project. Be thorough, but brief. Think through your request: Does it make sense? Is it realistic? Can it be carried out given your budget and staff expertise? Does it have your Board’s approval? How will you quantify its success?

Other information you need to know:

Adherence to deadlines, guidelines, and application information requirements is essential. Anything less may delay consideration of your request. An applicant may reapply for additional grants after one year from the date of approval. Our grants are generally under $1,000. A grant in excess of $1,000 will be considered but may be funded over several years. If given a multi-year grant, the applicant is usually ineligible for other grants during the funding period. The grant recipient is required to submit a final report, within one year of receipt of grant, evaluating the outcome of the program and/or the use of funds in order to be eligible for future funding. If grant monies are not used within one year, Fanwood Community Foundation reserves the right to rescind grant funds.
