Guidelines for Proposals
The Story County Community Foundation follows a strategic grant making plan which includes its Community
Betterment objectives. We welcome proposals for projects that benefit a broad spectrum of community or a chronically underserved segment of the population. In 2012, Story County Community Foundation welcomes proposals from 501©3 organizations, charitable projects of a governmental agency or others with an identified fiscal sponsor to present projects meeting the identified growing mental health needs and/or any of its identified Community Betterment Objectives listed below. We particularly encourages projects in the identified areas of need including mental health and economic development.
Please note that a limited number of technology grants will be awarded. Successful grant projects will present a
clear work plan with an innovative, creative and practical response to address a significant community issue.
Community Betterment Objectives
Grant proposals that address one or more of the following Community Betterment long-range objectives are strongly encouraged:
—Encourage residents of Story County communities to be inclusive, welcoming, and
understanding of diverse cultures.
—Support strong, stable families and provide solid beginnings for children and youth.
—Promote the effectiveness and long-term viability of arts and cultural
organizations and/or provide access to the arts for new and under served
audiences.
—Strengthen the nonprofit sector by supporting nonprofit organizations, promote
philanthropy, and encourage civic involvement.
—Serve as a catalyst in collaborative efforts for the betterment of communities in Story County.
—Address other community needs in the areas of education, health, mental health, and human services.
—Serve as seed money for a new program or project.
The Story County Community Foundation is committed to the priorities of the Community Betterment objectives.
However, these priorities are reviewed on an annual basis, and may be adjusted based on emerging trends and
issues in the community.
Grants are made only to nonprofit organizations with 501c(3) status, charitable projects of a governmental agency
or to the 501c(3) fiscal agent for a project. Geographically, funding is limited to projects that will significantly improve
the Story County community.
The Foundation generally will not consider funding requests for:
* endowments
* annual or capital fundraising campaigns
* ongoing annual operating expenses or salaries (not annual budget)
* projects not serving residents of greater Story County
* festivals and events
* budget deficit
Final reports, including proof of purchases and expenditures relating to grants, must be supplied to the
Story County Community Foundation by August 30th following the award. Future grant applications
will not be considered until all reports are completed.
