In reviewing a grant application, the following criteria will be used to determine fundability of a grant request that matches the CFF gifting goals:
 

Clarity of Purpose. The request should be clearly defined with a specific description of how goals/tasks will be achieved and how funds will be spent. A succinct project description and budget must be included.
 

Potential for Success. The organization must demonstrate that they have additional funding sources, manpower, and community support as well as the time to achieve their goals. Projects must be realistic and concrete.
 

Leadership. Stability in the leadership of the organization is a requirement, as well as a well-deserved reputation for results and effective management.
 

Financial Stability. A history of overall financial stability is highly desirable. Current audited financial statements may be required prior to funding.
 

Measurement and Results. A final report is required at the project’s completion. This report should outline how funds were spent and detail the overall achievements of the project. Failure to provide a final report will disqualify an organization from future funding consideration.
