The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation administers competitive grant programs for a number of donor advised funds. These funds are identified below.
Points to remember:
Unlike the Community Fund, Momentum Fund and Field of Interest Funds, some competitive donor advised funds will consider the following types of requests for funding: capital campaigns, operating support, event sponsorships and endowment campaigns.
Though we encourage competitive donor advised funds to make timely decisions, their process is not controlled by The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation.
Competitive donor-advisors select one or more of the competitive funding cycles in which to make grants. For more information about when various funds accept applications, see How to Apply and click on "Grant Applications by Fund."
The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation has many donor advisors that do not accept grant applications. Only the funds named above accept applications.Not all corporate donor-advised funds accept applications. Most individual or family donor-advised funds established by individuals do not accept applications. Only those funds listed here will consider unsolicited requests for funding.
Non-competitive donor-advisors are given the opportunity to recommend funding from their donor advised funds for applications received by The Community Fund and The Momentum Fund prior to review by the grants committee.
