Good¢ents Application

The goal of Good¢ents is to help build a stronger community. To meet this end, the Good¢ents Board of Trustees has developed general funding criteria. Funds may not be used for political or religious purposes, payment of utility bills, organized labor activities, fund raising, fund drives, advertising or ongoing operational expenses, including payroll. Please see the Good¢ents FAQs for a complete listing of the criteria.

Grant applications may be submitted at any time, however, applications will only be reviewed quarterly. Consult the Good¢ents page for quarterly deadline dates.

Stop ... If your organization does not hold a 501(c)(3) status, has received Good¢ents funding within the past 12 months or if your organization received 501(c)(3) status from the IRS less than 1 year ago, your organization is not eligible for funding at this time.
