    • CIPF Grant Application
    • Details and timing for use of funds
  2. The board will consider proposals up to $10,000 with most grants falling between $1,000 and $5,000.
    • Requests that align with the CIPF mission and are $1,000 or less can be approved by the Executive Director, without board approval, up to an annual limit of $5,000 (cumulative).
    • Requests over $1,000 will be reviewed by the Grants Committee and recommended to the Board of Directors.

      • If there is an urgent request, it may be approved by the Executive Committee.
