Guidelines Continued
Please note that for organizations or institutions requesting funding for separate activities, separate grant applications must be submitted. However, for organizations or institutions requesting funding for separate expenditures benefiting one activity or one general purpose, only one application is necessary. For example, during a prior year, PFLAG Greensboro was awarded four separate grants, based on four separate applications, for different expenses related to (i) workshop attendance, (ii) its monthly publications, (iii) advertisements in local newspapers, and (iv) library books. On the other hand, UNCG submitted one application for expenses related to a speaking engagement featuring former football player and LGBT activist Corey Johnson. Within the application, UNCG properly indicated its projected allocation of funds for (i) advertising and (ii) speaker fees related to the one speaking engagement.
Please ensure that all material presented is printed and formatted in a way to maximize legibility. For your information, Gifting Committee members reviewing your application will not have access to prior applications; for that reason, please restate any information from a prior application that you believe is relevant to the 2007 granting cycle and process. Finally, please provide ten (10) copies of any Grant Applications you submit.
Please mail the Grant Application package to:
