Early Grant Information for NGOs

The Carman Area Foundation is a community foundation established by an Act of Incorporation in 1998. The Foundation is a non-political, non-government organization, governed by a Board of Directors chosen from the communities the Foundation serves.

Funding Information

Grants are made annually.
Notwithstanding this, the Board may choose to defer payment or to carry forward payment, into subsequent years.
Grants are made to registered charities.
Recipient organizations must demonstrate a strong and committed board, fiscal responsibility and effective management.
Grant recipients will be required to complete a grant report showing accountability for the use of the funds within one year. Failure to complete this report may result in denial of future fund applications.
Projects must benefit primarily the people of the “Community” (defined as R.M.s of Grey, Roland, Dufferin, Town of Carman and the community of Sperling).
Applicants must establish that there is a need for their project.
Grants are awarded for definite purposes and for projects covering a specific period of time. Grants for ongoing operational funding are not preferred, but may be considered at the discretion of the Board.
Applicants requesting funding for capital projects must demonstrate ongoing ability to operate and maintain the asset.
Matching or challenge grants may be made in appropriate circumstances.
Frequency of grants to any one organization may be limited in order to assure equitable access to support for all organizations.
Grants to organizations that serve a broader community than that served by Carman Area Foundation may be considered if the proposed project is deemed to benefit the people in Carman Area Foundation communities.
When approving grants, the Board may consider:
The likelihood of the project to meet CAF donor wishes and interests.
The ability of the applicant organization to fund its own activities.
The vulnerability/need of the constituency that the application serves (e.g. children, seniors, persons with disabilities).
The likelihood of the project proceeding without CAF funding.
The question of whether CAF funding is crucial to the organization’s ability to leverage other support.
The number of people who might potentially benefit.
The influence the project may have on the future of the community.
Geographic distribution of projects being adjudicated.
