Annual grants are awarded in January for a period of
one year only. All projects must be completed within that year, unless
approved for extension due to special circumstances.
Any unused monies, if applicable, must be returned to the Jarrett
Meeker Foundation upon completion of the funded project, but no later
than January 31st of the following fiscal year.
Transportation is typically not funded, but MAY be reviewed and
considered depending on the degree of necessity to the implementation
of the grant.
The Board may consider partial funding of a grant request.
As an all volunteer Board, the Jarrett Meeker Foundation favors
grants which include a significant component of volunteer services
on the part of grant applicants.
