The Community Foundations of North Central Washington is accepting applications for its Nonprofit Reemergence Grant Program.

The Nonprofit Reemergence Grant is a temporary grant program to support 501(c)3 charitable organizations located in Chelan, Douglas, and Okanogan counties as they recover from the current public health crisis and adapt their operations for future viability.

Reemergence Grants are intended for:

• General Operating Support
• Support for Mergers

Funding Information

• Organizations may request funding for up to 10% of their current organizational budget with a maximum grant request of $20,000.
• Since the timeline for organizational recovery will look different for each nonprofit, grant awards will be made on a quarterly basis with $100,000 of total funding available per grant deadline.

Eligibility Criteria

• Grants are only for 501(c)3 public charities that both serve and are located in Chelan, Douglas, and Okanogan counties (nonprofits serving the Methow Valley should apply for the Methow Valley Fund).
• Government entities (including public education institutions), fiscally sponsored programs, and all other organizations without 501(c)3 tax exempt status are not eligible for this grant opportunity. Faith based organizations must meet CFNCW’s policy in order to be eligible for community grants.
• Organizations who receive a Helping Hands Grant 2.0 are not eligible for Nonprofit Reemergence Grants.
• Organizations who receive a Nonprofit Reemergence Grant award are not eligible to apply in a future Reemergence funding round.
• Grantees who received a 2019 Regional Impact Grant are eligible to apply for a Nonprofit Reemergence Grant (typically RIG grantees must wait one year before reapplying, but the Regional Impact Grant Program is currently on hold).
• If applying for support for a Merger, each nonprofit organization that is involved can apply for a Nonprofit Reemergence Grant.
• Grant funds must be expended within one year of award date.
• Final grant reports will be required to be submitted 45 days after the close of the grant period indicated on the Grant Agreement.
• The Board of Trustees is responsible for final grant decisions and authorizes distribution of grants pursuant to these and other guidelines established by the Community Foundation.
