2016 Spring Grant Round
The Anaconda Community Foundation is pleased to announce it is now accepting proposals for grant awards.

Thanks to generous donors, the grant amount for the Spring 2016 round will allow for grants in the $500 - $1,000 range depending on applications. The deadline for applications is midnight, April 6th.
Applicants must be tax-exempt, non-profit organizations as defined under Section 501c(3), public agencies or a unit of government. Applications for projects of most interest to the Anaconda Community Foundation include those that benefit the most people within Anaconda/Deer Lodge County as possible, meet critical community needs and/or requests for on-going operating expenses, with matching grants for endowment purposes.
Each applicant must submit a completed Grant Application form to the Anaconda Community Foundation. All applications will be reviewed and ranked by the Awards Committee. High scoring applications will be reviewed by the entire Anaconda Community Foundation Board with the final awards decisions made by the board.
Items not eligible for Anaconda Community Foundation funding: grants to individuals, testimonial dinners, grants to political organizations or purposes, religious organizations, requests that are discriminatory, or which pose an unacceptable conflict of interest to the community.
