Kimberley Community Grant Application 2011 (MS Word)
The Kimberley & District Community Foundation has accumulated $8,000 (which includes KDCF Community funds and Kootenay Savings Community Fund) and it is to be dispersed to non-profit, registered charitable organizations (you must have a charitable number) located in the former School District #3.
This includes St. Mary’s Lake, Skookumchuk, Ta Ta Creek, Meadowbrook, Wycliffe and Wasa, as well as the City of Kimberley.
Application forms are available on the foundations website: at kimberleyfoundation.ca or at City Hall. If your application is approved, the amount granted may not necessarily equal the amount requested.
Eligibility Requirements:
- All applications will be considered for funding, but preference will be given to those organizations that have not already received grants in 2011 and have an annual working budget under $50,000.
- To facilitate tracking, and maintain recipient records each application must be accompanied by two to three photos of your group in action.
- Funds will not be granted for ongoing operating costs (e.g. salaries, utility costs).
- Last year’s financial statement must be submitted with application.
Funds will be granted to organizations that illustrate in their application their ability to increase community capacity.
Community capacity building occurs when grants:
- Enhance the strengths and human assets of an organization rather than focusing on deficiencies and needs.
- Involve several groups in the development and implementation of a project, build organizational capacities and instill a broader sense of project ownership.
- Create broad community support and participation.
- Ensure the project has sustainable results.
- Create and strengthen community networks.
Completed applications can be dropped off at Kimberley City Hall, by 4pm October 11th
Application Deadline is Tuesday, October 11, 2011.
