FCP pledges to help solve problems related to the behavioral health and human service needs of children, young adults and their families, inspire youth, and create partnerships to enhance the quality of life in Bucks County.
The Bucks Innovation and Improvement Grants (BIIG) aim to support innovative ideas that enhance the quality of life for children, youth, and families in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The grants, valued between $10,000 and $15,000, require applicants to provide measurable benchmarks and expected outcomes for the project's duration. Recipients are obligated to submit a 6-month progress report and a 12-month final report. The grant cycle includes a Fall award with a Letter of Inquiry due October 1st and a full application due October 15th, and a Spring award with similar deadlines in April. The selection process involves a pre-grant meeting, verification of non-profit status via GuideStar, and a review of recent audits and financial statements, possibly including a site visit, adhering to Council on Foundations standards.
