DISTRIBUTION POLICY
P.O.Box 493, Wood River, NE 68883
In making grants, the Board of Directors of the Wood River
Community Centennial
Foundation, is guided by the following general policies.
1. Grants are made for such charitable or educational purposes as will, in the
discretion of
the Board of Directors, promote, and inspire the future growth of the citizens
of Wood
River Nebraska and vicinity.
2. The Board operates no programs or agencies of its own. It is entirely a
grant-making
organization working through other Institutions qualified to receive grants from
the Foundation.
3. The Board will consider applications for grants in five basic areas of
interest: Civic,
Cultural, Education, Health and Welfare. The Foundation is willing to consider
any
request for a grant which promises to make a significant contribution in any of
these
areas within the Wood River area. Profit-making enterprises and political
activities are, of
course, excluded.
4. The Board is particularly interested in innovative programs which can exert a
leverage
or a multiplier effect, or which, through research, planning, or evaluation may
contribute
to the solutions of important community problems. Because of the far greater
demand for
financial support then resources are available, all community trust seek to find
other
funding bodies which will join with them in "partnership" in many of the grants
that are
made.
5. All grants are made only to non-profit, federally tax-exempt qualified
organizations.
Therefore, if your organization does not have this official status you must work
with a
qualified organization to receive the funds (such as with the school of a
church).
6. No grants are made directly to individuals.
7. No grants are made to support current operating budgets of agencies except
for limited
experimental or demonstration periods in the form of "seed" monies or when the
terms of
designated or restricted funds require it.
8. No grants are made to provide for deficit financing.
9. The structure, function and operational requirements of a community trust are
unlike
other fund-raising benevolent institutions and serve a definite purpose within a
given
community unlike other institutions. For this reason the Wood River Community
Centennial Foundation does not make grants which will be in conflict with the
grantmaking processes
of other community supported agencies.
The Board of Directors meets quarterly; the first Tuesday of May, August, and
November.
All Applications must be approved by the Board of Directors.
A Grant Application is available from any Board member. The application must be
completed and returned (prior to the quarterly meetings) to a Board Member or to
the
Foundation, P.O. Box 493, Wood River, Nebraska 68883.
To make future grants possible we ask you for support, by remembering the
Foundation
when making memorial gifts, or a gift to the general fund at any time. Only
through
someone's generosity are funds available for the grant request.
THANK YOU!
