Current Applications from SCCF Funds
Through goodWORKSconnect and the support of The
Lumpkin Family Foundation, the Sangamon County Community Foundation
will offer micro-grants in three central Illinois counties: Sangamon,
Montgomery and Christian.
Micro-grants are awards of up to $1,500 for attendance by nonprofit
staff and board members at trainings and professional development
programs of their own choosing. Micro-grants are strategic investments
in people and organizations to be used to defray the cost of attending
programs targeted at improving the management, governance and
leadership of the applicant organization.
Nonprofits will now apply through
goodWORKSconnect.org for the micro-grants. The current submission
deadline is:
August 16, 2010
Requirements
- Your organization must have a profile and an
individual associated must be a member of goodWORKSconnect.org.
- The maximum grant amount is $1,500 and the
organization pays no less than 20% of the total cost.
- Micro-grants will only support FUTURE
opportunities, not trainings or professional develop that has
already occurred.
- Organization can only apply for one
micro-grant per cycle.
If your organization is not applying for a
micro-grant, you are eligible to apply to be on the grant review
committee.
