March 2, 2013 |
Inland Northwest Community Foundation (INWCF) is
accepting applications for the Equinox
Foundation Grant Program from nonprofit
organizations providing services in Bonner and
Boundary counties.
The Equinox Foundation’s mission is to protect
the natural assets of this region and to support
ecologically sustainable solutions for growth
and development. It is equally important to the
Equinox Foundation to nurture the long-term
health of the region by supporting positive
opportunities for youth.
Grant amounts typically are between $2,000 and
$30,000 and are provided for a one-year grant
period. Grants may be used for start-up funding;
program expansion support; capital and/or
equipment; providing free or lower-cost access
to programs for eligible populations that may
otherwise not be able to participate; and
general operating support. Last year, the
Equinox Foundation awarded 21 grants totaling
more than $240,000.
Applications are due by 5 p.m. Tuesday, April
23.

Foundation Grant Program, go to INWCF’s Web site

Founded in 1974, INWCF serves 10 Eastern
Washington counties and 10 North Idaho counties
to foster vibrant and sustainable communities in
the Inland Northwest. The community foundation
currently manages 360 funds valued at more than
$70 million and has awarded $42 million in
grants and scholarships since its inception,
positively impacting thousands of lives in this
region.
In 2010, INWCF began a partnership with the
Equinox Foundation to administer grant awards
that meet the Equinox Foundation’s mission to
fund programs that sustain a healthy environment
and build opportunities for youth in Bonner and
Boundary counties. |
