Grant Policies

Four County Community Foundation's Grant Review Committees and Board of Trustees will be guided by the following general policies and considerations:

1. The Foundation provides grants to individuals through designated scholarship funds and to nonprofit organizations and programs operating in the Four County Community Foundation service area, which includes the communities of Almont, Armada, Capac, Dryden, Imlay City, Metamora, and Romeo.
2. Grants will be made to support progressive ideas in education, health, community, youth, and adult programs.
3. Grants will not be made for sectarian religious programs.
4. Grants will not normally be made for operating budgets, or for basic educational or municipal functions.
5. Grants are ordinarily made for one year.

Four County Community Foundation gives priority consideration to the following:

• Projects not adequately served by existing community resources.
• Projects which provide incentive for generating other funds and community resources.
• Projects which facilitate cooperation and collaboration between organizations.

If you have any questions about our grant policies and procedures or whether your project fits within our current priorities, please contact the Foundation office. We will be glad to discuss your proposed project.

Four County Community Foundation operates without discrimination as to age, race, religion, sex, handicap, or national origin in the consideration of grant requests.
