The 2025 Grant Application for the Community Foundation and United Way of Volusia and Flagler Counties is designed to support local nonprofit organizations in addressing community needs across three primary pillars: Education, Financial Stability, and Health. Eligible applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations with at least two years of operation, a minimum revenue of $100,000, and a board of at least five members. Required documents include a current IRS determination letter, financial audits, a Board of Directors roster, compliance policies, and registration with the Florida Division of Corporations.

The grant amount ranges from $10,000 to $50,000 for the program year, and the application process emphasizes alignment with specific priorities under each pillar. Applicants must select and demonstrate how their programs address these priorities, including shared outcomes such as student success, financial stability, or access to health services. Organizations must provide a brief summary of their project, a logic model, a detailed budget, and explain their strategies for addressing barriers related to diversity, equity, and socioeconomic factors.

Applications require detailed demographic information about the populations served, including race, age, and geographic distribution. The application process also entails quarterly reporting on outcomes and program progress. The submission deadline includes attachments of supporting documentation, such as policy statements and anti-terrorism compliance forms. Quality assurance is a critical component, with a designated person responsible for verifying the accuracy and completeness of the application.

This grant opportunity aims to fund programs that contribute to meaningful outcomes in education, financial stability, and health, ultimately fostering community resilience and well-being in Volusia and Flagler Counties.
