Iredell County Community Foundation accepting grant applications from nonprofits

Posted on by Mike Fuhrman

Special to Iredell Free News

The Iredell County Community Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2023 grant program. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, congregations, governmental and educational institutions.

Priority will be given to requests for projects and programs that address learning loss, human services or veterans affairs. All projects or programs must serve residents of Iredell County.

The Foundation will prioritize proposals requesting one-time funding to initiate projects and programs and will consider grant requests enabling the grantee to seek support from other funders. The most competitive proposals will clearly demonstrate collaboration and partnership with other organizations to increase impact and identify how funding will be sustained in future years.

Award amounts will be determined based on the merits of the project and the Foundation’s available funds. The Foundation generally awards grants up to $10,000, but for exceptional applications that would be impactful to residents of Iredell County, the Foundation will consider larger requests.

To begin the application process, visit fftcgrants.communityforce.com and select “Iredell County Community Foundation” to access the online application. Returning applicant organizations can log in to the Online Grants Center using their previously established ID and password. First-time applicant organizations can create a new account.

Completed applications must be submitted online by 12 noon Friday, March 10. Late submissions will not be accepted.
