Grant Proposals Due December 1, 2007 (postmarked)
The Grants Committee of The Longmont Community Foundation reviews applications once a year and distributes funds from the Community Grants fund as well as field of interest funds held by the foundation. Areas of granting include arts and culture, civic and education, health and human services. It is the vision of the Grants Committee to support local non-profits and strengthen their organizations to continue to serve our communities in the above areas. Each year the Grants Committee determines focus areas for granting based on information and feedback from non-profits throughout the year. Additionally, the Grants Committee shares information on focus areas and applications with donor advised funds held by the foundation.
