HOME DEPOT OFFERS POST GRANTS THROUGH VFW FOUNDATION
Posted at 10:19 AM on Wednesday, November 4, 2009 by dist11
The Home Depot has once again revised their grant program which is now entitled “Building Healthy Community Grants.“
VFW Posts are eligible to apply for up to $2,500 in Home Depot gift cards to be used for remodeling activities to their Post building.
There is an application deadline of December 15, 2009. Usually the groups that apply first are the ones that are granted funding. It is also likely that the grant will become available again in 2010.
All applications must be made through the VFW Foundation since our 501(c)(3) non-profit designation has been requested by Home Depot.
There is no guarantee of funding and Posts will be assisted on a first-come, first-served basis. It is also doubtful that our Posts will receive the same level of funding that they did several years ago as there are more groups competing for limited funds. With that said, this could be a good opportunity that should not be dismissed.
Interested Posts should fill out the attached form and return it via mail, email or fax to VFW Foundation at National Headquarters. Posts may also call the VFW Foundation at (816) 968-1128 or (816) 968-2739. The VFW Foundation will submit all grant requests to Home Depot using the information provided by the Post.
Posts will need to have a specific project in mind and a budget for activities that is $2,500 or less. If funding is awarded the project must be completed within six months by Post volunteers (money cannot be used to outsource project activities).
Some examples of projects might include handicapped accessible ramps or bathrooms, kitchen remodels, painting, roofing, landscaping, energy efficiency such as windows, insulation, etc.
Good luck to all!
