It sounds like your project might qualify for support from our Community Investment Fund, to apply click here.
Please familiarize yourself with the criteria of this fund before applying, however here’s a quick synopsis
of the intent of the fund: The Interior Savings Community Investment Fund provides seed money or one-time financial
support to develop sustainable programs that enrich youth, health, and/or economic development in our communities.
Eligible projects must have a far-reaching, positive impact on the community and intend to be self-sustainable.
Large capital requests and funding for operational costs likes staffing and consumable supplies are ineligible.
Allocations typically range between $3,000 and $15,000 depending on the scope and scale of the project and the
anticipated impact on the community and surrounding areas.
It sounds like you’re seeking subsidy for ongoing operational costs for your community program or service.
If you’re looking for a donation of less than $1000, you might want to see if our
is a fit for you.
If you are seeking a larger investment, we don’t currently provide operational funding to established community programs or services; we’ve found
that we can have a bigger impact by helping local funding partners and community foundations raise money
through our sponsorships and endowments. Have you considered approaching your local community service
clubs, United Way or community foundation to request support?
We wish you the best of luck and invite you to check back with us if you have a opportunity,
or if you are looking for an initial investment to get a new, sustainable program or service off the ground.
