Please read the following carefully,
as grant application procedures have changed significantly for both
the Arts Program and the Environment Program for 2010. While Beneficia accepts
pre-proposal submissions from any interested party who meets the foundation's
criteria, only invited proposals for projects focusing on conservation
of the environment or the arts will be considered. Beneficia focuses
its Arts giving in the Delaware Valley and its Environment giving
on International Biodiversity Hot Spots. We favor requests for project
support over general operating support and do not look favorably upon
requests for construction of facilities. Only invited applications
for projects focusing on conservation of the environment or the arts
will be considered. Beneficia focuses its Arts giving in the Delaware
Valley and its Environment giving on Biodiversity Hot Spots and the
Delaware Valley. We favor
requests for project support over general operating support and do
not look favorably upon requests for construction of facilities. Minimum grant request: $10,000. In most instances, grants are limited to a cap of $50,000. The Board meets once a
year. The deadline for submission
of pre-proposals for both programs is January 22nd, 2010.
·
Pre-proposals must be submitted
electronically.
Pre-proposal forms can be acquired
from Mick Richardson at mickrichardson@sbcglobal.net · By Late February 2010, successful pre-proposal applicants to either the Environment Program or the Arts Program will be invited to submit a Full Proposal. You will also be notified if your pre-proposal was not selected.
·
Full Proposals, if invited, are
due by March 11th 2010. Committee chairs select proposals for preliminary review at committee meetings in April. The full Board of Directors meets in May to conduct final proposal reviews and make recommendations for funding. Applicants whose proposals are approved for funding will be notified by June 15. Beneficia will also notify applicants whose proposals have not been selected for funding. At the end of the grant
year (December 31), a narrative project assessment and financial reports are
required. For previously funded grantees, a project assessment and financial
report are required before a new pre-proposal will be considered. Guidelines
on project assessment and financial reports are as follows:
