Grant Guidelines
The Duluth Superior Area Community Foundation is committed to making the grant application process as simple and effective as possible. To apply, non-profits should follow these guidelines:
Eligibility: Prior to filling out any paperwork, check your eligibility. To be eligible for funding from Unrestricted Funds from the Two Harbors area fund, an organization must:
- be classified as a charitable organization under Section 501(c)(3) or classified as
an organization under 170(c)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
- be located in or provide services to residents of the Two Harbors High School District.
Inquiry: The next step in the grant application process is filling out an inquiry. The inquiry requests basic information and a description of your project, along with what funds you are applying for a grant from. Upon completion, Community Foundation staff will contact you to discuss your project more in-depth and notify you if you should continue with a full-length proposal. An inquiry must be completed prior to submitting an application.
To access the form, click here.
Application: Based on the inquiry, an organization may be encouraged to submit a full proposal. For grant requests exceeding $3,000 we encourage using the Minnesota Common Grant Application Form. In addition, grantees need to include items requested on the self-certification checklist along with a signed copy of the checklist confirming proposal completeness. Grant requests below $3,000 can use the DSACF Short Form. The forms are located on the right. (make a table with two categories so I can put these forms up in the right hand column).
Proposal Submission: The deadline for receipt of proposals for the Two Harbors Area Fund is
March 1 (or the next business day is the deadline fall on a holiday or weekend). The Two Harbors Area Fund Advisory Committee will determine grants at its April meeting. Grant awards may not be used retroactively. While we encourage electronic submission of grant applications, they can also be mailed to:
