Clothes Helping Kids, Inc.
Grant Application for New Mexico Programs
Clothes Helping Kids' Grant Application for 2010 has already past. Please check back in late December 2010 or early January 2011. Thank you.
Clothes Helping Kids, Inc., a nonprofit organization established in 1999, collects used clothing and household goods for resale. The net income generated from these donations of used goods will be awarded in grants to community programs in Central and Northern New Mexico in 2010.
The Board of Directors of Clothes Helping Kids, Inc. reviews all applications and selects the grantees on a competitive basis. Community programs should be those that work directly with children and youth, address educational needs, health issues, human services, the environment or traditional arts and culture. These fields of interest, singly or in combination, create the building blocks for strong community programs that support the developmental needs of children and youth. Clothes Helping Kids welcomes applications from established organizations seeking limited funding to support ongoing or new initiatives. In 2010, we expect to award individual grants up to $5,000 to recipient programs. The Board of Directors awards grants to those applicants that best address the organization's overall priorities.
Applications from programs in Central and Northern New Mexico will be evaluated on: focus on children and youth; demonstrated need for CHK funding; the geographic location of activities; the capacity to implement and administer the program; the impact and effectiveness of the program; and the ability to evaluate and report on program outcomes. The Board of Directors exercises full authority for all grant decisions.
Grant funds will be scheduled for payment depending on the availability of funds. Recipients, once funds are received, must report on the expenditure of the grant and provide an evaluative summary report on the results of the program. Grants will be made for a one-year period. Any funds not expended within the year for the specific purpose of the grant must be returned to Clothes Helping Kids, Inc. and cannot be reallocated to other uses without the prior written approval of Clothes Helping Kids.
Grants will not be made:
- to individuals,
- for political or religious purposes,
- to retire indebtedness,
- for payment of interest or taxes,
- for annual campaigns, endowments
- to influence legislation or elections,
- to private foundations,
