Our mission is to build a better community through charitable giving.

 

What We Support

 

The Prescott Foundation supports programs, projects and organizations that enrich life for residents of the Prescott community. We provide grants for community development, education, recreation, arts and culture, environmental projects, youth programs and community services.

 

Who Is Eligible?

 

We welcome grant requests from the greater Prescott area that meet one of these criteria:

• Nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization

• Government unit or public agency

• School

• Other nonprofit organization with fiscal sponsor that meets above criteria

 

We generally do not award grants for

• Routine operating expenses

• Fundraising drives, events, campaigns, social events or goodwill advertising

• Endowments, debt retirement, or re-granting by another organization

• Lobbying, political or religious causes or organizations

​

When are Grant Requests Reviewed?

 

The Prescott Foundation meets the first Monday of each month. Grant requests are reviewed quarterly, January, April, July, and October. Grant requests should be submitted four weeks prior to a quarterly grant review, longer if possible, giving us an opportunity to ask questions and seek clarification prior to a vote by the Board of Directors.  

 

For large and/or complex requests, the vote may be delayed until the Board has enough information for review prior to voting. The requester or a representative of the requesting agency may be asked to present to the Board in support of the grant request.  Please be thorough and detailed when completing a grant request.  

 

It is very important that requesters include both a phone number and email address.

 

Approved grants could take up to 60 days to receive funding.

 

How We Evaluate Requests

 

We evaluate grant requests based on project purpose, reach within the community, budget, the ability of the requesting group to continue the project, the ability of the requesting group to successfully implement and manage the project, and the availability of other funding. Grant recipients are selected by the Prescott Foundation Board of Directors and approved by the St. Croix Valley Foundation Board of Directors.
