Alliant Energy Foundation Offers Flood Grants to Nonprofit Organizations
Deadline: October 1, 2008
The Alliant Energy Foundation is offering a new Rebuilding Our Communities Grant Program that will provide funds to nonprofits in Alliant Energy communities that were directly affected by the recent flooding. The foundation has allocated $1 million for the program, and groups can apply for up to $20,000 in unrestricted funds to use for flood-related expenses. Nonprofits affected by flooding can begin requesting grant dollars immediately.
The Rebuilding Our Communities Grant Program will provide unrestricted grants in the amount of $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, or $20,000 to organizations for increased operating and other expenses incurred as a direct result of the recent flooding. Funds are to be used to help nonprofits in Alliant Energy's utility service area resume or maintain operations. Priority will be given to organizations recovering from significant flood damage that need assistance to re-establish essential services for the community.
To be eligible, applicants must be a nonprofit 501c3 organization. A determination of grant eligibility will be made within fourteen days of submission.
