Request for proposals: Louise Oriole Burevitch Endowment
Share
The North Carolina Community Foundation is seeking proposals from June 28, 2024, to NOON on July 30, 2024, from nonprofit organizations with programs, projects and general operations that serve eastern NC and focus on one of the following areas:
Education
Health
Human Services
Read on for more information about these focus areas, eligibility and how to apply.
Information for grantseekers
The Endowment defines these focus areas as follows:
Education benefits students, teachers, school personnel within pre-K, K-12 and 4-year college and university education systems with a goal of escalating school success. *Please note the restrictions on applicant organizations in the Restrictions section below.
After-school educational programs and other educational extra-curricular activities serving students may be considered with a focus on academic achievement.
The Endowment may consider non-academic educational opportunities for youth that offer leadership development.
Health includes programs and services that yield positive impacts on the health and well-being of individuals, groups, and communities.
Health includes physical health, mental health, and general wellness.
The priority of the program and/or service must be to improve health outcomes directly, not indirectly.
Human Services addresses basic human needs – food, clothing, shelter and safety.
Job skills training and employment assistance may be considered within this category as they serve basic human needs and improve quality of life.
Because of the fund’s preference for benefiting women, domestic violence services are included within this category as serving a basic human need for safety.
Applicants must be nonprofit organizations that are qualified as tax-exempt public charities under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Nonprofit organizations operating as a 501(c)(3) public charity via a pre-existing relationship with a fiscal sponsor may also apply. The application must include a letter from the sponsoring organization that verifies the relationship, describes the nature of the relationship and includes when the relationship was established.
Proposals must benefit communities in eastern NC. The eligibility area includes 41 eastern NC counties: Beaufort, Bertie, Bladen, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Chowan, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Currituck, Dare, Duplin, Edgecombe, Gates, Greene, Halifax, Harnett, Hertford, Hoke, Hyde, Johnston, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, Nash, New Hanover, Northampton, Onslow, Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Pitt, Robeson, Sampson, Scotland, Tyrell, Washington, Wayne and Wilson.
Proposals must have a clear and specific focus on education, health, or human services.
The primary purpose of submitted proposals must fall within one of these focus areas. Proposals that are loosely related to a focus area are not as likely to be successful.
Organizations must offer programs/services without discrimination on the basis of age, race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, physical ability, sexual orientation, political affiliation or religious belief.
Preferences
Within the eligibility criteria, there may be some preference for proposals serving:
Women, children/youth, or the elderly
Southeastern North Carolina (Bladen, Brunswick, Columbus, Duplin, New Hanover, Onslow, Pender, Robeson and Sampson counties)
Note: The program is not exclusive to these interests, and NCCF will pursue a diverse grant portfolio.
NCCF will accept applications for this program between June 28, 2024, and NOON on July 30, 2024. Awards will be made in October or early November.
This endowment is not designed to be a COVID-19 response fund; however, we understand that community needs and the needs of nonprofits undoubtedly are still impacted by the pandemic. As such, there will be an opportunity for applicants to describe COVID-19 impacts to their organization and programming. However, please note there is no plan to make funding decisions solely on COVID-19 pandemic impact.
Grants typically will range from $25,000 to $50,000 and will not exceed $50,000.
Organizations may only submit one proposal per cycle.
Organizations that already receive grants from this fund are welcome to apply if they meet the stated criteria; however, organizations cannot receive more than $50,000 total in any given year.
The grant term will be 24 months from the time of the award. The funds must be spent and proposed work completed within the approved time frame. Applicants should propose a timeline within that range that best suits their work.
Grantees that receive funding through this application process may not apply to this program again during the term of the grant received. Any grant received through this process must be complete and closed prior to the grantee applying again.
Grants are not awarded to:
Government entities including, but not limited to, local county health departments, human services departments, public schools, colleges, and universities; nor may grants be awarded to nonprofit foundation arms (and "friends of") of schools and other government entities.
Grants may be awarded to health care systems both partially or solely owned or operated by publicly funded colleges and universities.
Private schools, colleges and universities
Religious institutions (including churches and organizations promoting a particular faith)
