Q: What if I’m not a nonprofit organization? Can I still apply?
A: Grants are awarded only to registered 501c(3) organizations. We may be able to refer you to area nonprofits that receive our funding and can help if there is a unique and demonstrated need. Before applying for a grant, you are responsible for having that designation in place.
Q: Can I apply two years in a row?
A: No. If you applied (and were accepted) the previous year, applications may not be submitted.
Q: I submitted a proposal. How will I be notified?
A: Approximately one month after the application due date, all recipients will be notified by email.
Q: What is the likelihood my organization will be selected for funding?
A: This depends on the number of applications we receive, the nature of the request, demonstrated need, audiences served, and organizational strength.
Q: Are there any other requirements for grantees?
A: All entities receiving funding from the Fred M Roddy Foundation must submit an impact report within 12 to 18 months of receiving the grant.
