COMPETITIVE GRANTS CYCLE
The Cass County Community Foundation operates on an annual grant cycle. Those eligible to apply for a grant are non-profit organizations with documentation of 501(c)(3) status, whose projects directly impact the lives of Cass County, Indiana residents (see the current grant application under “forms” on this website).
Please note – public schools, while non-profit, are not 501(c)(3) and therefore are not eligible. Partnership/collaboration with an existing 501(c)(3) organization would meet eligibility requirements.
The complete schedule of the grant cycle, as well as the amount of grant monies available, is announced each spring. A free grant-writing workshop is scheduled, and announced in the local media as well as on the CCCF website. Although attendance at this free workshop is not required, it is strongly recommended, particularly for first-time grant applicants. CCCF staff is available for follow-up assistance after completion of the workshop.
A late spring deadline for grant applications will be determined and announced. All applications are reviewed by a committee comprised of CCCF Board members and other volunteers from the community. Upon completion of review by the CCCF Grants Committee, recipients are notified and invited to attend a late summer grants reception.
