CFF's Grassroots Grants Application Opens June 1st!
About the grant:
Grants will focus on building infrastructure and capability for grassroots nonprofits. Infrastructure and capability may include efforts to improve governance, financial management, fundraising and development, program evaluation, technology, and continuous learning.
This year, we are looking for organizations working in human services, education, veterans, food security, Alzheimer's, youth development, and health and well-being.
Award amount: $5,000
Eligibility:
- Must self-identify as a grassroots organization
- Must have been in operation for more than 1 year
- Must have raised at least $5,000
- Annual revenue under $250,000
- Must serve residents of Central Florida
We are continuing the option to add video to the Grassroots Grants Application. In lieu of writing your responses, you'll be able to create and upload a video detailing your response. Be sure to address all components to the questions, as your video response will be evaluated the same as a written application would be. Your video should be no longer than 4 minutes. Oral and written applications will be rated the same. There is no preference!
