The Randolph Foundation Grant Application

Mission

"The Randolph Foundation was created, and is sustained, by the residents and friends of Randolph, New Hampshire. The Foundation supports the needs of Randolph and its neighboring towns in a variety of areas including conservation, communication, education, recreation, town history, leadership, health and welfare, and other important issues as determined by the Board of Directors and the Randolph community."
Award Criteria

The Randolph Foundation Grants Program aims to support a variety of initiatives benefiting Randolph residents and the surrounding communities.

In reviewing funding requests the Board will be looking for the following:
1. How the request aligns with the Randolph Foundation's mission
2. Uniqueness and importance of the proposed work
3. Impact on the residents of Randolph and surrounding towns.
4. Results timeframe: Priority given to projects yielding results within a year
5. Other sources of funding that have been requested or pledged. Preference will be given for projects that are multi-funded and also financially supported by the requestors.
Only  501(c)(3) charitable nonprofits  and faith-based organizations in good standing with the IRS are eligible. Individuals may request grants but must work with a nonprofit funding sponsor. Grants must serve the  North Country (Coos County) exclusively with priority given to Randolph and the immediate surrounding towns. Grants may not be used for a building structure or a capital campaign. Only  one application per organization per year  is permitted. If you have received a grant from the Randolph Foundation, you must be current and compliant with all grant requirements and reporting or your application will not be considered.

Post-Award Reporting Requirement

Within 1 month of the conclusion of your program/activity please provide the Foundation with a grant report. You may also provide reports as events unfold. Every grant is different so the Foundation does not believe there should be a one-size-fits-all rule for grant reporting. Reports that include a mix of the following are ideal and appreciated:
- Photos and videos
- Testimonials
- Written report on impact (this does not have to be long and extensive)
- Outcomes
- Metrics and statistics
Not providing a report and the quality of your report will be taken into consideration for any future grant request.
