The Giving Circle of Alexandria is pleased to announce that we are now accepting and reviewing applications from Alexandria’s non-profit organizations for Developmental Gifts up to $5000.  These grants are intended to support non-profits and initiatives that contribute to the success of Alexandria’s children.  On behalf of the Giving Circle, I invite your organization to apply for one of these grants.

If you are interested in applying for a Developmental Gift, please submit a letter of inquiry by July 1, 2010 to Kelly Donovan.  Your letter should be no more than three pages double spaced, and should address the following items:

• Name of your organization, location, and contact information  (please provide all contact information including telephone, mail and email addresses).
• Your organization’s mission
• How long has your organization been in existence?
• Who does your organization primarily serve?
• What specifically is prompting your request for funding?
• What is the annual budget of your organization and the project for which you are requesting support?
• If your project budget is greater than $5,000, please explain briefly how you expect to fund the remaining cost of the project.
• How will a Developmental Gift assist you in helping children, youth, and/or families of Alexandria?
• What outcome or benefit do you hope to achieve from the project/program for which you are requesting support?
• Please include the number of children, youth, and/or families of Alexandria that will benefit from such project/program.

The Giving Circle Board of Directors will decide and announce the recipients of these gifts in October based on the letters of inquiry we receive by the July 1 deadline. For more information about the gifts the Giving Circle makes and the groups we help, please visit the Gifts area of our website. We look forward to hearing your ideas and plans for helping Alexandria’s children, youth and families!
