Grant applications for the next funding cycle of the Dr. Lyle F. Renodin Foundation are due Aug. 1.
The Renodin Foundation provides grants for programs and projects whose public charitable purposes are carried out in a manner consistent with the tradition of the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany in Allegany, N.Y.
Monetary requests should show a connection relative to the mission of the Foundation and assist the needy, underprivileged, elderly, developmentally disabled, handicapped or the economically disadvantaged.
To be eligible for grant funding, an organization must operate on a not-for-profit basis, possess a 501©(3) classification and serve people in Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties in New York or McKean County. Projects that show sustainability to prosper after the award period are given strong consideration. Types of support not ordinarily funded include project administration and building, housing, renovation or construction expenses.
The Renodin Foundation board of directors review applications twice a year –– in September and March. Organizations are eligible to receive one grant per year, from April 1 to March 31. Successful applicants are notified by mail and must provide a funding report at a later date. Proposals can be completed online at www.RenodinFoundation.org and must be submitted by the August 1 deadline. For reference, past grant recipients are listed online as well.
The Dr. Lyle F. Renodin Foundation, attentive to the religious tradition and pastoral mission of the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany, is committed to the gospel stance of social justice which is lived out in a spirit of love, healing and compassion. The Foundation focuses its energy and resources primarily in Allegany and Cattaraugus Counties in New York and McKean County, and strives to improve the quality of life of the poor and marginalized.
