The Marvy Finger Family Foundation Grant Application must now be completed online using the following link: Grant Application

All applicants must clearly identify a specific need or project for which the grant will be used.

General or vague requests (e.g., for “operations,” “program expansion,” or “general support”) will not be considered.

Applications that do not specify a defined purpose, measurable outcome, or itemized use of funds may not be considered for funding. Please provide as much detail as possible regarding how the requested funds will address the identified need.

The following will be required attachments when completing the online application:

  • Copy of your most recent 501(c)(3) letter from the IRS
  • Current fiscal year budget
  • A detailed budget for the project for which funding is being requested
  • Most recent year-to-date Balance Sheet and Income Statement
  • Most recent 990 with Schedule A and attachments
  • Most recent financial audit, including auditor’s management letter
  • A list of Foundation and Corporate supporters and amounts given during the prior fiscal year
