CONWAY — Nonprofits in Faulkner County can go to www.arcf.org to download an application for Giving Tree Grants through the Faulkner County office of the Arkansas Community Foundation.
Applications must be submitted by Feb. 15.
“O ur Giv ing Tre e Endowments give us an annual source of funding to help address immediate needs across the state,” said Heather Larkin, president and CEO of the foundation. “Many of the organizations that receive these grants provide vital services to our communities but aren’tlarge enough to compete for national grants. The Giving Tree program gives us the ability to provide small grants that help stock the shelves of our local food pantries, keep the lights on at free clinics and provide supplies for after-school programs all over Arkansas.”
Any IRS 501(c)(3) public charity, public school, government agency or hospital in Faulkner County is eligible to apply. Other applicants may be considered if the project has a clear charitable purpose for the public benefit. Grants are not made to individuals.
Applications will be reviewed by a grant making committee from ARCF/Faulkner County.
“Our Giving Tree grants will generally range from $750 to $3,000,” said Julie LaRue, executive director for ARCF/ Faulkner County. “This year marks the 10th year we have awarded Giving Tree grants in Faulkner County. During that time, the Giving Tree Grant program has provided over $120,000 to dozens of local nonprofits.”
Visit www.arcf.org to view Giving Tree Grant submission guidelines and begin the application process.
