What is the grant application process?

1. A charitable organization comes up with a good idea that addressees a community problem or an opportunity.
   
2. The organization reviews the Grant Guidelines to verify initial fit with the criteria of one or more Community Foundation granting programs. (See program list below and on the left hand toolbar.)
   
3. A representative of the organization visits with the Community Foundation to share the idea and receive feedback. Contact the Community Foundation at 920.432.0800 for a meeting.
   
4. The organization completes the application and submits the materials to the Community Foundation electronically or via hard copy.
   
5. The Community Foundation determines if we would like to work together with the charitable organization on their proposed project.  A grants team reviews and evaluates the grant proposals and makes recommendations to the Community Foundation’s board of directors for approval.  Grant decisions are usually available within four to five weeks of the application deadline.
   
6. If the request is approved, the organization agrees to the terms of the grant contract agreement with the Community Foundation. A final report is required to be submitted at the end of the granting period. Some grant programs also require progress reports and site visits.
