Deadlines The Trustees meet several times a year, and the Contributionship accepts and processes applications
How to Apply We prefer that applications be submitted online: https://fdnweb.org/mclean/grant-application-procedure/ If you choose not to submit online: The Contributionship accepts the common grant application of Philanthropy Network Greater Philadelphia. Application also can be made by a letter, which describes and justifies the project. A budget and timetable is required as well as a strategy for securing funding. Financial commitment by a charity's trustees to a project is an important indicator for the Contributionship. A financial statement for the latest year should accompany each application in addition to interim operating statements or budgets for future periods if appropriate. Evidence of tax-exempt status is required plus a list of officers and directors. Information about funds raised and whether the Board has committed any funds towards the project should also be included. Deadline dates for current year are listed on the website.
Restrictions The Contributionship does not fund the costs or expenses of existing staff allocated to a project it is asked to support. The Trustees believe the resources of The Contributionship can be used most effectively by making a relatively limited number of grants for projects of long-term benefit-rather than by underwriting continuing operating expenses. The Trustees focus on capital projects: bricks and mortar, endowment for purposes outlined below. Capital is considered to be a physical item with at least a three to five year life span. The Trustees may make grants in ways to encourage the successful funding of projects. PURPOSES The Contributionship favors projects in the Greater Philadelphia area when they enhance the lives of those living there. The Trustees consider the Greater Philadelphia area to be Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, Philadelphia and Lower Bucks Counties
