2011 DurhamCares Success Grant Applications Released

DurhamCares has just released the application for the 2011 Success Grant. We invite all registered 501(3)(c) organizations working to improve the human condition in Durham to apply.

Participants in the Success Grant set specific outcome related goals that directly relate to the mission of their organization. In turn, DurhamCares publishes these goals on our website and encourages individuals and companies to donate money to the organization of their choice. Donors can choose to give to a specific organization immediately, give to a specific organization and have the money held until the organization meets their goals, or give to the general Success Fund which is distributed at year end to organizations that meet their goals. Recently DurhamCares helped raise over $104,000 for 2010 Success Grant organizations through a seven day bike race called Race Across America. 

The application process consists of attending a required goal setting workshop, a written application, and an interview for organizations who make it past the initial screen. The DurhamCares Board will review all applications and select organizations that fit the qualifications and provide a diverse portfolio of service to the community.

Applicants are due on October 8, 2010.
