Additional Eligibility Criteria:

To be eligible for a grant, the organization must be a “Charitable organization" as described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code that is exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the code or an organization established for a charitable purpose. As described in the Iowa Code, charitable purposes include those described under IRC 501(c)(3), or those for benevolent, educational, philanthropic, humane, scientific, patriotic, social welfare or advocacy, public health, environmental conservation, civic, or other eleemosynary (charitable or relating to charity) objectives.

The CFCC generally makes grants to 501(c)(3) organizations and qualified governmental entities. Grants will not be awarded for annual fund raising, organizational endowment funds, deficit financing, to individuals, or for sectarian purposes. As a general rule, only one project per an organization will be funded each year.

Projects eligible to receive grants must directly benefit the citizens of Carroll County. Those projects that do not directly benefit the citizens of Carroll County will not be considered.
