Qualified Approved Partners List

How to Apply

All requests, which meet the funding guidelines in accordance with the Policy of the LFCF, are given full consideration of the Board. $2,500 is generally the maximum grant available in a single application. In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, it is a general practice of the Lake Fork Community Foundation to avoid undue dependency on the Foundation and refrains from awarding grants for operating expenses. 

Grantees who received funds last grant session are asked to submit the Grant Summary Report. The LFCF must have on file a completed Collection Agreement to qualify for either grant awards or to be included in our annual solicitation letter.

All requests should be emailed in one file to lfcf@lakeforkcf.org. Applications must be received by the 25th of the last month of a quarter. Please email us directly with any questions.
