Since 1975, the Scioto Foundation has awarded approximately $30 million in grants and distributions to local non-profit organizations, schools, and local governments. Grant-Making Criteria Grants will be made only to organizations having recognition under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Foundation will make no grants to individuals, although assistance will ultimately benefit individuals. Unless suggested by the donor of a particular fund in the Foundation, grants will normally not be made for routine operating needs, annual giving, budget deficits, or religious organizations. However, we do support religious organizations for non-religious programs, like hunger centers, job training, or childcare. In addition, the Foundation does not fund entertainment, lodging, or meal expenses. The Foundation will look favorably at those projects that promise to affect a broad segment of the population of the Scioto County area or that tend to help a segment of the citizenry not being adequately served by other resources in the community. Typically, the Foundation funds projects in the following areas: education, healthcare, community development, economic development, arts and culture, social services, and civic benefit. Requests are accepted from existing organizations in the community as well as from newly formed nonprofit groups. The Foundation does not reimburse projects that have already been completed. The Scioto Foundation is especially interested in supplying the “seed money” for new and dynamic projects. Grants will be made to existing groups moving in new directions or to new organizations. The Foundation is interested in those organizations that can demonstrate they have planned their projects in light of overall community needs. Similar projects by other organizations should not duplicate the proposed services. The Foundation will give greater priority to grant requests that ask only for a portion of the total project cost. Grant Application Guidelines If your organization meets the criteria for submission to the Scioto Foundation, you will need to complete an application form and submit the following information: A copy of the grant application transmittal form signed by the board chair and project applicant 5 copies and an original of your full proposal, written in the format provided.
