The nonprofit is in good standing with the IRS, SOS, and DOJ (AG).
Please read all requirements carefully.
The non-profits directly serve El Dorado County Residents (please read specifics with each grant being offered) and all grant cycles will close on Thursday, May 19, 2022. They can all be accessed at https://eldoradocf.org/grants-catalog/
Endow ED Capacity Building Grants
The ENDOW ED CAPACITY BUILDING Grant Application is open to all nonprofits serving the residents and communities of El Dorado County who have completed the capacity-building classes put on by EDCF this past winter (2022). This year, our grant focus is changing to help nonprofits with capacity building, and thus this application will be for a two-year grant with site visits for its recipients. Organizations will be able to apply for $25,000 to $50,000 for the 2022-2023 year and if capacity building is successful as determined by the site visits the funding will be extended for the 2023-2024 year.
