ARE YOU A NONPROFIT SEEKING FUNDS?
Changes to the Interfaith Social Action Council Grant Process
The Interfaith Social Action Council (ISAC) has awarded thousands of dollars in grants each year to South Shore service organizations with an approved IRS 501c3, c19 designation or a not-for-profit school or church. We are reorganizing our Fall/Winter grant cycles into an annual grant cycle, allowing us to match our fund distribution with our fiscal year which runs 4/1 – 3/30. We believe that the certainty of available funds will allow us to increase our yearly grant dollar distributions. Grant applications will be accepted starting December 1st through midnight, January 15th. Applicants may be requested for an in person interview between January 16th and February 28th. During the month of March, the Grant Committee will discuss all grants and make recommendations to the ISAC Board for approval. The entire ISAC Council will vote on the grants at the Council meeting held in the third week of March. Applicants will be notified after the voting, with grant check distribution to be scheduled in early April. Other changes to the grant process include that a copy of the official IRS tax status be presented as part of the application. The Grant Committee will also be offering an opportunity to schedule appointments to answer questions about the grant forms and process. Requests for appointments may be made by email to isacofscc@gmail.com. One thing that has not changed is the requirement that a final report on any previous ISAC grant must be filed prior to submitting a new grant request. Updated grant application forms can be found on the ISAC website: www.interfaithcouncilscc.com under the Grants tab.
