2008 Online Grant Application and Instructions

Each year the Foundation strives to continuously improve our services to the community.  Part of that process includes updating our grant application process.  We wish to inform each of you that the Foundation has a revised grant application for 2008.  This application can be downloaded in a print version only from our website at www.tgkvf.org.  To locate the document, go to the Foundation’s homepage, click on the grants tab, and then click on common grant application.  If you have any questions please call the Foundation at (304) 346-3620 and ask for Sheri Ryder or Cherrie Sizemore. 

To assist applicants in understanding the grant application process and requirements, Foundation staff will be holding three general sessions to educate the community about the 2008 grant application process.  The three informational meetings will be held at the Family Enrichment Center.  Please consider attending one of these informational sessions.  Staff will make every effort to answer your individual questions at these meetings or they will set up a time to meet with you individually.  While you may attend any of the sessions, it would be best if you attended the session that correlates with the field of interest cycle that you are thinking of applying within.  

The Foundation awards unrestricted and field of interest grants in the following broad program areas: arts, economic development, education, health, human services, land use and public recreation.  The Foundation has elected to focus on Community Development in its grant making.  Efforts will be made to align the grant making with this focus area.

Community Development is a general category for three types of work—improving the quality of life, promoting economic development, and reducing poverty.  All three contribute to a nurturing environment for families and individuals and a good place to do business. 

The Foundation looks to fund specific projects and to partner with other organizations in funding these efforts. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Program Officer prior to submission of all applications, especially in cases of new, large, or particularly complex projects.
