The Grants Story…
Enjoyed success with quite a number of grants to
date but can do better Efforts ongoing at Chapter level, unknown till
Grant has been won and publicized Several potential Grants for Education specific
projects passing by due to Volunteer band-
width/leadership issues Follow up with Grant partner for repeat funding is
insignificant currently
Corporations donate through:
A company-sponsored foundation, A corporate giving program, Or both
Foundation vs. giving programs? Company-sponsored foundations report to
the IRS annually by means of Form 990-PF. Corporate giving programs, need no
disclosure. Corporate giving programs are often
managed by a company's community or
public relations departments.
