During challenging economic times, not-for-profit organizations that provide vital community services, from education to health care, can find their resources stretched significantly.
In response to this, The Community Foundation of Herkimer & Oneida Counties, Inc. is introducing a simplified mini-grant program.
The program is designed to help not-for-profits apply for funding of $20,000 or less that will be used for capacity-building purposes.
For this process, capacity building is defined as something that “improves organizational capacity and competence” which can include strengthening areas such as administrative systems, management, financial resources and governance.
The application for mini-grants is significantly shorter than the standard grant application.
Anyone Interested in more information on the mini-grant program can contact Foundation Senior Program Officer Jan Squadrito at (315) 735-8212 or: jsquadrito@foundationhoc.org.
