||| FROM ED ANDREWS for ORCAS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION |||
The Orcas Island Community Foundation (OICF) is requesting proposals for the 2022 GiveOrcas Holiday Campaign.
OICF’s bi-annual GiveOrcas Campaigns are a way to build awareness of local nonprofits and raise funds to support the programs that make Orcas a stronger and more resilient community. The success of the campaigns is achieved by a collaborative relationship between OICF, the island nonprofits, and most importantly, the community that rallies to support the Campaigns and the programs featured in it. GiveOrcas is a true community-wide effort.
Criteria
Grant requests limited to a maximum of $15,000 during the Holiday Campaign. Proposals will be prioritized based on the following:
● Does the proposal address a specific need?
● What is the likelihood for success of the proposal?
● Is this need/request unique to Orcas?
● Does the proposal serve a large number of islanders?
To apply, you must be a 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(6) organization, government agency, school district, or public service organization (such as the library).
Please go here to download the necessary documents and instructions. All required documents need to be completed and submitted by 5 p.m. on Friday, October 21, 2022.
Email Ed Andrews or call him at 360-376-6423 if you have questions. We encourage you to reach out earlier rather than later.
