Grants
The Minot Area Community Foundation is highly committed to increasing participation in philanthropy and the amount of financial support going towards charitable causes. As of December 31, 2011, the Foundation has awarded 12,830 grants totaling over $7.94 million.
The Community Foundation awards grants from charitable funds that donors establish to give back to the community in a permanent way. Donors choose the level of involvement they prefer, ranging from directly recommending grants to nonprofits they select, to allowing the Foundation's Community Allocation Committee to make grant recommendations following application review processes.
Therefore, each year the Foundation has grant opportunities available for local nonprofit organizations. Grants are made primarily to qualified charities that serve the needs of residents in the greater Minot area. Guidelines for each Fund program further define eligibility and grant deadlines.
