Before You Start - Central Carolina Community Foundation

We encourage your team to thoroughly review all information about the grant before applying. All grant applications must be submitted through the grant portal.

Grants are listed in the portal during their open period.
If there are no grants listed on the “Apply” page, then we are not accepting applications at that time.
Refer to our calendar for a list of application dates.

Please note: Mailed, emailed, faxed, or hand-delivered applications are not accepted. You can log out and return to complete your application in this system. Once your application has been submitted, you can’t go back and make corrections. Declinations will be emailed.

Get your documents ready. Central Carolina Community Foundation may request these documents at any time during the application process or after you’ve received funds:

Internal Revenue Service 501(c)(3) tax exemption letter OR fiscal sponsorship agreement
Charitable registration letter from the SC Secretary of State’s Public Charities Section OR a current letter stating the organization is exempt from registration
Vision, Values, and Mission Statement
Audited Financial Statements (Form 990)
Staff listing and Board of Directors roster

Quick tip

You don’t have to finish everything at once. You can save your progress and return later, but you won’t be able to make changes after submitting.
