LHiNC GrantsBackgroundThe Linden Hills Neighborhood Council (Council) usually generates a certain amount of revenue from events such as the annual Linden Hills Festival. Over the years, the Council has donated most of this revenue back to the community in the form of grants to organizations or projects that make Linden Hills a better place to live and work. These Guidelines explain how to apply for a grant from the Council, as well as how the Council will make its determinations. Please review the Guidelines carefully. Who is eligible to apply?The Council prefers to make grants to tax exempt, nonprofit organizations. However, the Council recognizes that some projects may not be associated with a formal nonprofit organization and thus will consider proposals from neighborhood groups that can show appropriate administration and public accountability for the grant, and those that otherwise meet the Guidelines. Units of government may apply for funding for specific projects, but not for activities that are traditional responsibilities of the government. What type of support do we provide?Grants from the Council under these Guidelines will be for specific projects only. The Council will not make grants for planning, operating, or capital grants. Please also note that grants from the Council cannot be used to promote religious or partisan political purposes. Grants are typically less than $1,000, but there are no firm rules about grant allocations. What are we looking for?The level of the Council’s support will depend partly on an applicant’s commitment to and practice of the following principles:
How to apply? Proposals should be typed and not exceed five pages in length (excluding financial information).
Applicants should submit an original and five copies by U.S. mail to:
What are the timeless and review process?Proposals will be reviewed initially by members of the LHiNC Finance Committee, who will make a recommendation to the full Council for final decision. The Council reserves the right to reject proposals even if the Finance Committee recommended the proposal for approval. The Finance Committee (and Council) will review proposals twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Please note the following relavant dates: Spring grant cycle dates:
Fall grant cycle dates:
