Organizational Requirements for Funding

To be considered by the Community Chest, an eligible 501 (c)(3) charitable organization submits a written proposal that includes a program narrative, budget and evaluation plan. Required supplemental schedules include the financial statements, tax return, board list and resumes of key staff. All applications are reviewed, interviews conducted and allocation amounts determined. Results and allocations are recommended and voted on by the Community Chest Board of Directors. Nonprofit organizations are also required to submit a narrative and budget report within 60 days after year end.

Eligible organizations need not be located in Port Washington, but the services for which funding is sought benefit Port Washington residents. Grants are not awarded to individuals, for political action or lobbying, to support religious organizations, to organizations for re-granting, or to subsidize fundraising events.
