No, but sponsorship level information should be included when available. The final awarded amount may be less that what is requested depending on the committee’s decision.
The 2024 Grant Cycle begins on January 1st, 2024, and ends on November 15th, 2024.
Organizations may submit a request for funding once a year. If you have applied for funding in the past, the timing of when you were awarded in previous years will determine when you are eligible for additional funding the following year. For example, if we awarded you in August 2023, you would not be eligible to receive funding again until August 2024. If this is your first time applying, we ask that you give us at least 60 days to review your application.
No you will not be penalized, but we will fund at the level in which the committee feels comfortable.
Yes! Eligible Organizations can apply for both The Caring Foundation grant and a Corporate Giving & Sponsorship grant. Since we fund an organization only once a year, ALL request must be submitted at the same time.
