What We Fund

The Dr. Louis and Violet Rubin Fund awards grants in the following areas:

---

The deadlines for submitting all applications are January 15th and July 15th of each year. If the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, proposals are due on the next business day.  Grants under $10,000 are typically awarded in mid April for the January grant cycle and mid October for the July grant cycle.  Grants of $10,000 and over are typically awarded in June for the January grant cycle and in December for the July grant cycle. 

Carefully consider the funding cycle that allows you to receive funds prior to the start of your program. Grant applications for summer programs should apply to the July grant cycle the year before the program begins.

Only one proposal per organization per grant program will be considered during the Community Foundation's fiscal year (July 1st through June 30th).

Exceptions to this rule:

• You are invited by a Grants Committee to resubmit an application in the following grant cycle.
• Organizations participating in a collaborative may apply once a year as a member of the collaborative, and once as itself or as part of a second collaborative.

Grant Committees are comprised of Community Foundation Trustees and Community Advisors. The Community Foundation's Board of Trustees approves all grant awards.

All grant recipients are required to submit an online final report upon completion of the project for which the grant was made. This report must include the outcomes achieved by the project and a detailed budget explaining how the funds were used. The report may also include an oral presentation or other components as deemed necessary by the Community Foundation.

Final reports are due within one year of grant approval. You may access the final report by clicking here. Past grant recipients will be excluded from future grant consideration if a final report has not been completed for prior funding. If an organization submits an additional application while a Community Foundation funded project is still in progress, an interim letter must be completed and returned by the grant cycle deadline. (Do not use the online final report form for this.)

Grants are made for one year only; should circumstances allow, a multi-year commitment may be considered.
