Funding Guidelines

1. Ideally, the agency seeking funding is physically located within the Fourth District. All funding requests must serve the Fourth District residents.
2. Grants should support direct services or community events. For example, a grant could provide hygiene kits to the homeless, educational tutoring for students or a concert series in the park.
3. Grants cannot be used for political campaigns, religious or purely private purposes or activities.
4. If the agency has received any of these grants in the past, the agency must be current on final reports. We will not approve a new request until all final reports are reconciled.
5. The agency agrees to follow the terms of the contract, which includes using the grant money for the designated purpose and agrees to submit a final report by the end of the contract period.
6. Funding in a particular calendar year does not guarantee funding in future years.
