CALLING ALL SMALL PALM BEACH COUNTY NONPROFITS:
Apply today for a Quantum in the Community grant and share in $750,000!
Applications are open for small, grassroots nonprofits in Palm Beach County to receive their share of $750,000. For the past 4 years, West-Palm Beach-based health funder, Quantum Foundation has set aside nearly $3 million to help local nonprofits who are working towards a healthier Palm BeachCounty by meeting the basic needs of residents like food, clothing, shelter and transport.
Quantum Foundation’s President Eric M. Kelly said: “While the foundation has always worked to ensure a robust health workforce for the county and funded the county’s community health center system, we clearly acknowledge that without meeting people’s basic needs, it’s impossible for them to be healthy.”
All applications are carefully considered by a committee made up of Quantum Foundation Program Officer Shannon Hawkins and board members Ethel Isaacs-Williams, Donna Mulholland and Denis Coleman, Jr.
While the application process for Quantum in the Community grants is streamlined, there are strict criteria for nonprofits who apply:
- You must be registered as a 501[C]3.
- You must have been working in Palm beachCounty for at least 6 months.
- Your annual operating budget may not exceed $500,000.
- You must provide basic needs like food, clothing, shelter and transport to the county’s most vulnerable residents.
No one organization will receive more than $25,000 of the $750,000 total.
