GCPNC awards grants to 501(c)3 non-profits and local schools for events and projects that directly benefit our Cypress Park community.
We have recently made a change to this process.
Instead of accepting requests on a first-come, first-serve basis (which leaves us with little funding at the end of the year), we will now be accepting funding requests on a QUARTERLY basis.
We will consider grant requests at the following 2018-2019 meetings:
August 14
October 9
January 8
April 9
Each meeting is at 7:30 PM at the Cypress Park Rec Center.
At each of the above meetings, we will have $4000 to distribute in grants. Distribution will be based on how much the project or event benefits Cypress Park neighbors specifically.
During the meeting, organizations requesting funding will have 5 minutes to present their request. The board will have 5 minutes to ask questions. We will listen to all requests at once and then give the audience time to make comments and help us prioritize funding.
PLEASE JOIN US AT THESE MEETINGS TO HELP US DECIDE HOW BEST TO DISTRIBUTE FUNDING.
If you are associated with a school or non-profit that is seeking funding, please go to our meeting page and request to be added to the agenda and to receive the Neighborhood Purpose Grant (NPG) request form and instructions. Paperwork must be submitted 1 week before the meeting to be included in the agenda.
