Each May, the foundation hosts a community grants catalog, where local organizations propose grant requests and the foundation hosts those requests for them.

Daffodils, February

As in past years, the request proposal site is open for the month of March 2020.

In April, the foundation reviews all the proposals and decides which ones to offer. [Most of the time we say yes to every proposal—don’t worry.]

To get started, contact the foundation (info@rickc49.sg-host.com) to see if your organization is on our list of nonprofit and grantee organizations.

If it is, we will send you the link to the request proposal page, and you can get started.

Crocus Dutch Purple Giant, Feb.

If not, we will create a profile for your organization, and then send you the link. For this, we will need the organization’s name, address, contact person, phone number, email, and the organization’s EIN (federal employer identification number).

Once your organization is on the list, then you can start adding your proposal.

The request period is open March 1-31, 2020. We review proposals in April, and the catalog is open for donations May 1-31, 2020.

The foundation waives its admin fee and pays the credit card fees for all donations to this catalog. This way, every dollar donated goes to participating organizations.

Your part is to help promote the catalog to your members, their friends, and outward, to increase the reach for everyone.

We will host a social media seminar, April 17, 2020, 10 a.m. to noon, Ilwaco Community Meeting Room, next to the library, to teach you how to do use social media effectively and efficiently to promote your organization.

Please RSVP so we know how many handouts to print, info@rickc49.sg-host.com.

For the month of May, the grant request list is open to the public for donations. The foundation helps promote this catalog to the community. You help too.

Camas, May

Last year, the grant catalog raised more than $15k through dozens of small donations.

Our goal for 2020 is to raise more than $20k for nonprofit organizations in our community.
