Priority is given to applicants demonstrating significant financial need and the potential for substantial community impact.

Award Announcements

The award notification will be sent via email after board approval.

Grant Payment Terms

When a grant is awarded, LFCPF authorizes funds to be paid directly to the recipient organization at the start of the program or project. Depending on board discretion, half of the funds may be distributed initially, with the remaining half provided after the organization submits a satisfactory interim report midway through the project. A final report is required at the project’s conclusion.

Reporting Requirements

Grantees must provide both fiscal accounting and narrative reports detailing how the grant funds were used and the impact on the community. An interim report is required halfway through the project, and a final report upon completion. Specific reporting guidelines will be provided in the award notification letter.

Use of Grant Funds

Grant recipients must use all funds for the purposes outlined in their proposal. Both interim and final reports are mandatory to confirm compliance and demonstrate project outcomes.
