NCW Community Foundation accepting grant applications

WENATCHEE — The Community Foundation of NCW is now accepting applications for its Regional Impact Grant and Woods Family Music and Arts Grant, according to an announcement from the foundation.

The RIG is an annual grant program open to nonprofit organizations and public agencies that address community needs in Chelan and Douglas counties and parts of Okanogan County, according to the announcement. Public charities headquartered in these counties are eligible to apply for unrestricted, core operating support. Government agencies, tribal agencies, faith-based organizations, fiscally-sponsored programs, or public charities serving the region but headquartered elsewhere may be eligible for funding to support specific programs or projects.

The funding request, $6,00-$14,000, is determined by the budget size of the organization. The Foundation strives to award a balanced number of grants across budget sizes based on the total funding available and the number of applications received per budget range.

The Woods Family Music & Arts Grant is open to nonprofit organizations (or fiscally sponsored programs) and public schools in Chelan and Douglas counties and parts of Okanogan County, according to the announcement. Up to $5,000 is available to support initiatives such as equitable access to arts and culture for youth, expanded access to underrepresented audiences, programs that celebrate the rich and diverse culture of North Central Washington and operating support for high-quality art programs.

The deadline for the RIG is Sept. 15, according to the announcement. The deadline for the Woods Grant is Sept. 30.
