Project Criteria

The Community Foundation favors awarding grants that:
Reach a broad segment of the community, especially those affecting citizens whose needs are not being met by existing services that are normally expected to be provided by private rather than government sources
Request seed money to create innovative opportunities to meet needs in the community
Stimulate and encourage additional funding
Promote cooperation and avoid duplication
Help make a charitable organization more effective and efficient to be self-sustaining
The Community Foundation places low priority on the following, which are unlikely to receive funding:
Projects where Kosciusko County Community Foundation is the sole funder
Reduction of debt (including payment for items purchased prior to grant approval)
Travel
Attendance at conferences, seminars or other projects
Programs that fall more appropriately under government funding, such as operating expenses for public schools and police or fire protection
Requests from organizations that have an open Community Funds grant file (i.e., a balance remaining on a previous grant or an unfiled final report)
Eligibility Criteria

Nonprofit organizations serving Kosciusko County are eligible to apply.
The Community Foundation will not consider grants for:
Individuals
Political activities or those designated to influence legislation
National organizations (unless the monies are to be used solely to benefit citizens of Kosciusko County)
Fund-raising projects
The direct benefit of the donor or the donor’s family
Religious organizations for the sole purpose of furthering that religion (this prohibition does not apply to funds created by donors who have specifically designated religious organizations as beneficiaries of the funds)
Contributions to endowments
