Requests may be for any amount, but should be for tangible items rather than staffing or salaried positions. Applicants are asked to provide organization and contact information, the amount requested, a proposed project schedule, and details about how the donation will be used and benefit the organization or community. The guidelines also request relevant supporting materials, such as a budget, an itemized equipment list with costs, and proof of 501(c)(3) status.
