Capital Requests

Capital requests, such as those for buildings, land or equipment, are supported when they meet certain stringent criteria. Capital projects must help to meet a compelling community need and offer a broad social benefit. When GCON Gives participates in a capital project, its support is contingent on funding from other sources. We do not authorize payment until the organization has raised a significant amount of its total goal.

Funding Levels

The foundation does not predetermine funding levels. Applicants should request the amount that meets the needs of the program and that is consistent with the organization’s capacity and other anticipated or received support.

The foundation cannot fund projects already underway or projects that have already been completed. Please submit your request well in advance of your project’s start date.
