The Benwood Foundation believes that one aspect of its role is to provide opportunities for creativity and innovation on the part of organizations in the community. While the Foundation believes that its focus area grants will address issues of critical concern to the future of Hamilton County, it recognizes that other issues and needs will arise. It further recognizes that these issues and needs may be identified by others in the community. Community Grants will be made in response to proposals submitted to the Foundation, in accordance with its published guidelines.
The Community Grantmaking area will also provide support for Capital Campaigns. Organizations contemplating a Capital Campaign and desiring Foundation support are encouraged to discuss the campaign with Foundation staff prior to making application. Capital support to an organization will not exceed $50,000 for any campaign. In keeping with the Foundation's environmental commitment, building projects that will obtain LEED certification will be eligible for $100,000. For more information on LEED certification, visit the U.S. Green Building Council.
Please read the guidelines carefully to ensure you meet the criteria.
