FAQs
Who is eligible to apply for a community grant?
Applicant organizations must meet the following criteria:
- Non-profit organization with proof of 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Programs with a non-profit fiscal sponsor are eligible to apply.
- Reside and serve residents in a minimum of one of the communities in Essex County, Massachusetts.
Grants will not be awarded to support individuals, or for capital building projects, lobbying, or religious purposes.
We do not fund general operating expenses.
How are community grants awarded?
Applicants selected for community grant awards will receive 80% of the funds upon award. The remaining 20% will be awarded pending the completion of the program/service and submission of an evaluation to Boston North Cancer Association. This evaluation is to include: total number of people served, total cost of program, explanation of how BNCA was recognized, and a narrative detailing the outcomes/results of the program funded. Evaluation must be submitted at the conclusion of the program via email to [email protected].
