| Application Guidelines |
The Patricia Kind Family Foundation
| Updated 6/20/10 |
The Board meets in January, April and August to consider funding requests.
Most giving is in the range of $5,000 to $25,000/year for a one to three year
period. Currently, successful applicants will be notified in writing of the action
of the Board. As we continue to streamline our online grantmaking process,
applicants will be notified via the email address they include in their online
application. Foundation grants are made only to non-profit, charitable
organizations in the Delaware Valley area that are tax-exempt under Section
501c(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Priority will be given to smaller
organizations with budgets under $1 million.
The Board does not discuss funding options with potential grantees prior to
receipt of a complete grant request. Please review our Mission Statement,
Guidelines and past Annual Reports to determine if your program meets our
requirements.
Grantees are required to submit reports reflecting progress towards stated
objectives and to notify the Foundation at any time if there is a major change or
delay in the proposed plans. A grant year-end report assessing
accomplishment of stated objectives of the grant and a financial accounting is
necessary and will now be submitted online in the same manner as the
application. When a multi-year grant is approved payment of subsequent
installments is made conditional on the satisfaction of the Foundation that
proposed accomplishments are being met.
Excluded from the Foundation’s funding priorities are grants in direct support of
individuals, i.e., scholarships or fellowships; endowments; and capital projects.
