Grants Bucks Innovation and Improvement Grants (BIIG) are offered on a competitive basis to non-profit human services organizations providing services to children and youth in Bucks County. These grants, ranging in value up to $25,000 per grant will be awarded to eligible applicants that develop innovative ideas to improve the quality of life for children, youth, and families in Bucks County. All applicants must provide measurable goals in their application. These goals must include periodic measurable benchmarks throughout the term of the grant and expected outcomes at the conclusion of the grant period. Before applying for these grants, we require all applicants to contact FCP for a pre-application interview. Applications for these grants are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Awards are distributed in the spring and fall of each year. Foundations Community Partnership (FCP) requires a full Due-Diligence review of all "Bucks Innovation and Improvement Grant "(BIIG) applications). This process includes the Delaware Valley Grantmakers "Common Grant Application", non-profit verification through "Guidestar", a review of recent independent audits and financial statements , a pre-grant interview and a site visit. The process also follows the standards set by the "Council on Foundations" for Grantmaking Foundations. Only complete applications submitted by the "Deadline" will be reviewed. Late applications, incomplete applications or applications that are not consistent with the Mission, Values or other requirements of Foundations Community Partnership, will not be considered.
