New Grantmaking Process
The Greater Cincinnati Foundation is pleased to announce its newly redesigned grantmaking process. We have listened to our nonprofit stakeholders and we wanted to respond to their needs by making grant applications and review processes more relevant and user-friendly to nonprofits.
As part of the new process, we are moving to a totally online application process, GCF GO (Grants Online). We are also changing our committee structure. Oversight of the entire grant process will be conducted by a Community Investment Committee. To help us make sound decisions in each of our six focus areas, we will convene six new advisory committees: Arts & Culture, Community and Economic Development, Education, Environment, Health, and Human Services. Some other key points about our redesigned process
- The total amount of GCF funding available to make grants to nonprofits organizations in our region will not change.
- A pre-application form will let you know within 30 days whether GCF will consider your proposal.
- Nonprofits seeking grants of up to $20,000 can get a decision in eight weeks or less.
- Capital campaign funding requests will continue to be considered once a year.
- All other grants above $20,000 will be awarded twice a year.
- More multi-year grants will be available, along with capital, program or project, and capacity-building grants.
