Deadlines

The Members and Directors of the Foundation meet twice each year (in June and December) to consider grant applications. The grant application deadlines are May 1st for the June meeting and November 1st for the December meeting.

If a deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, applications will be accepted until the end of the next business day.

Application

The Foundation does not use a formal application form for the processing of requests for funding. All applicants must submit a request in writing and it should be signed by a member of the Board of Directors of the organization.

To facilitate the consideration of the request, the application should include:

Project description:

• Describe the project, including its purpose and goals.
• Describe the involvement of members of your organization in the development and implementation of the project.
• Cite evidence of the need for the project and state its significance to the Peterborough Community.
• Provide a detailed budget indicating costs by category and information concerning other funding sources.

Agency information:

• What is the purpose of the organization?
• What services are provided? (Include target population, geographic area served and number of people served).
• What is the annual operating budget?
• Who are the major operational funders?

Submission of the following attachments would also assist with the consideration process:

• List of Board of Directors and Officers
• Most recent audited financial statements and annual report
• Income and expense budget for the current year
• A recent agency newsletter and brochure
