Must organizations invited to submit formal grant application meet all of Impact Giving’s standards?
No. A strong application should meet at least one of the criteria but it doesn’t need to meet all. For example, providing operating funds to a community organization may be a response to an urgent need, but not be a new innovative approach. This does not reduce its eligibility for funding. Sometimes the most urgent need is operating support for an established organization or ongoing program; sometimes providing seed money to a new program will be the direction the committee chooses. An organization should review the standards and qualify within one or more of the stated principals.
