Description
The Fund for Bartlesville is administered by the Bartlesville Community Foundation (BCF) to support the charitable work of community nonprofits and recognize excellence in addressing community needs. It provides project or program support, seed money for new initiatives, and capacity-building support that helps organizations better fulfill their missions. The fund is one of BCF’s unrestricted grant funds, currently focused on general granting to area organizations.
Capacity-building activities can include technology, staff, equipment, training, publications, speakers, strategic planning, and conferences. The grants committee considers whether the supported work or added capacity can continue after Foundation support ends. Applicants seeking seed money should explain how their initiative will be sustained, while capacity-building applicants should explain how they will measure the success of the increased capacity.
