The Buffalo Grove Community Foundation offers program specific grants to organizations that positively impact the community of Buffalo Grove and its inhabitants. One time grants are awarded to inititives that have the potential to provide visible, long-term, sustainable benefits for community members.
Emphasis is given to applications that are for specific projects. The BGCF does not provide funding for operating expenses.
Applicants must be organizations with a clear mission and structured leadership. Charitable or non-profit organizations with a 501 (c) (3) designation are encouraged to apply, though this designation is not a requirement to qualify. Faith-based non-profit organizations may qualify, provided their proposed project is for the benefit of the community rather than just members of their congregation or organization. Projects must be initiated by the applying organization and advance our shared focus of community service.
Projects that do not qualify include those submitted for specific benefit of a for-profit business, religious organizations for the sole benefit of the organization, individual sports teams, political organizations or candidates, labor unions, homeowners’ associations, or individuals. This list is not exhaustive, but is intended to illustrate the nature of projects that are not eligible for funding.
Submittals are reviewed by the BGCF Board on an on-going basis.
