Application Procedure

If your request for support falls within the interest areas targeted by the company, please submit a preliminary letter (one or two pages) rather than a fully developed proposal.  Your letter should include a brief statement describing:

-A summary of the project, the amount requested, a schedule for implementation, and plans for evaluating and reporting results.

-To whom the contribution is targeted, the communities to be served, and how it will benefit that constituency and meet C & N Contractors, Inc. guidelines.

-Other organizations from whom you are leveraging support.

Please enclose with your letter:

-The IRS statement that validates your organization has a 501 c(3) tax status.

-Names and qualifications of individuals responsible for implementing the proposal.

-A listing of your Board of Directors.

-Budget information for the specific project.

-Audited financial statements

If this preliminary information meets our criteria geographically and is consistent with our priorities, we may request additional information or a more detailed proposal.

Funding Review Process 

Organizations will be notified promptly in writing of the company's receipt of their proposal.

Recipients must agree to the terms of the grant throughout the funding period.  A program summary or progress report is required annually or upon completion of the project.

You may apply for funding throughout the year, however, proposals are evaluated by Fall for the next calendar year.

During the review process, you may be contacted with questions/clarification or to arrange a site visit.
