The organization’s RFP page says the process is currently closed. It describes eligibility for tax-exempt human service organizations under Section 501(c)(3), with a fiscal sponsor option for organizations without that status. Proposals must align with the Children Education or Financial Stability impact area and describe anticipated outcomes, evidence of community need and program effectiveness, program activities and use of funds, and an evaluation plan. The stated geographic requirement is that programs be located in and serve residents in MUW’s southwestern New Hampshire service area. The organization does not fund, among other things, more than 10% of administrative expenses, religious programs, deficit reduction or expenses already incurred, capital campaigns or land acquisition, academic research, grants to individuals, or programs that re-grant funds to others. It also excludes multiple proposals from one organization for the same program services and funding for grant writing or fundraising.
