About Writing a Grant to Us
The Irene W. and Guy L. Anderson Children's Foundation makes grant money
available to any non-profit group or organization in the Coachella Valley
whose purpose is meeting the unmet needs of the youth of the Coachella
Valley.
These grants award up to $50,000 per group or organization and are awarded on merit and according to the guidelines set forth In the grant- application. The funding cycle is from July to June each fiscal year.
During the funding cycle recipients will have at least one site visit for project evaluation. The project evaluation will be based upon the project goals set forth in your application. Project recipients will be expected to complete a written final report/evaluation by June 30th of each funding cycle. This is to be forwarded to the Anderson Children's Foundation.
Some Grant Writing Tips:
 |
Keep it simple...be clear and concise in your writing. It is not necessary to use excessively descriptive language or to write to fill up a page. |
|
|
Be sure you ask for only what you need. We review budgets and if it appears that it is "padded" we will change your budget before offering you funding. |
|
|
We are looking for creative solutions to issues/problems effecting children...so put on your thinking caps!! |
|
|
We are sensitive to the diversity of the Coachella Valley and watch for applications that reflect an understanding of our cultural, ethnic, socio-economic and geographical differences. |
|
|
We really want to know that you have thought about how you will continue your project when our funding ceases...normally we only fund a project for 1 year. We are unlikely to fund projects that do not demonstrate that they have a process in place to secure future funding. |
|
|
Be sure to submit 8 copies of your application as requested in the directions. You risk having your application rejected if the 6 copies are not submitted when you apply for funding. |
