Request Dates
Requests will be reviewed quarterly, at regular board meetings, specifically on:
- May 9, 2023
- August 8, 2023
- November 21, 2023
- February 13, 2024
If the consideration is re-scheduled for a special meeting other than the regular board meeting, applicants will be notified of the new meeting date.
Please Note
The Township board reserves the right to limit the amount of grant money available to any individual organization. Any grants to governmental taxing bodies or their subsidiaries, such as libraries, schools or public safety organizations, must serve the residents of the township, and will only be granted through a direct purchase of the items by the Township. If your organization is such an entity, please complete the second page, “Indemnification “ portion of the application.
It is your duty to determine the timing appropriate to your grant request. If you fail to submit a request in a timely fashion, you will forfeit the opportunity to receive timely funding. Requests must be received by the Township no later than 1 week prior to the grant consideration meeting (see meeting dates above).
Due to the limited availability of funds, an organization which meets eligibility requirements shall not receive more than two (2) grants per fiscal year. NOTE: Notwithstanding past experience, there is no guarantee that future requests will be approved. Former recipients may be asked for an accounting of past grants. An incomplete application will be considered unqualified for funding. Be sure to specify the payee on the form, both name and address, and please understand that these checks are issued to organizations, not individuals. If you need additional space, use a separate page and you are encouraged to attach supplementary information. Additional information may be requested upon review of your application, but please provide detailed responses to the questions in the application.
You are strongly encouraged to have a representative present at the meeting to answer any questions.
