Black Mountain-Swannanoa Valley Endowment Fund – United States
Deadline: 1-Mar-21
The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina is inviting applications for its Black Mountain-Swannanoa Valley Endowment Fund (the Fund) to inspire philanthropy and strengthen charitable organizations serving the Swannanoa Valley by making grants relating to health and wellness, education, cultural and natural resources, and people in need.
(Ad) What tools do you need to raise funds for your organization?
A grants database, a donor search option, sample proposals, a library of guidebooks on how to raise funds, a grants map, a deadline calendar, training from fundraising experts and an alert system to give you timely information about new opportunities. We have all of these in our Premium Membership service – now available at 50% discount. $49.99 per year only. Click here!
The Fund’s intent is to support innovative projects and programs in the Swannanoa Valley. Generally, requests for continued support for a grant funded in the prior year or for general operating support will be given a lower priority.
If an organization other than the applicant will benefit from the grant, then the applicant should include a letter of endorsement from that organization.
Projects should be completed within one year of the award.
Funding Information
Grants of $1,000 to $5,000 are made for charitable purposes, including programmatic needs, equipment and technology, and capital needs.
