The Power of the Purse Fund is currently soliciting proposals to be considered for funding as part of their annual competitive process. Organizations interested in submitting a request for funding, should review the criteria and submit the letter of inquiry on the Community Foundation of West Chester/Liberty website by April 16. Up to $10,000 will be awarded.
Power of the Purse will consider requests that:
1. Make a difference among women in the community by promoting volunteerism and effective philanthropy through the Community Foundation’s pooled resources.
2. Encourage community among ourselves and those we serve
3. Educate and increase awareness of local needs
4. Encourage self-sufficiency and well-being among those in need
5. Build a network that is a catalyst for positive change
6. Serve the Butler/Warren County communities
Power of the Purse members will review all inquiry letters and choose the top three proposals. These organizations will be asked to submit a full grant proposal in conjunction with a presentation to the entire Power of the Purse membership at its September 2012 meeting. The organization(s) selected for funding will be awarded at the Power of the Purse Annual Grant Gala at the end of the year.
Since its inception five years ago, the Power of the Purse Fund and its membership has awarded more than $40,000 to non-profit organizations.
