The Target Funding-General Operating Support Grant (TF-GOS) is designed to give nonprofits the flexibility to pursue their goals as they see fit, and to build a strong and sustainable infrastructure to provide programs and services that will have the greatest impact. Recipients must provide a 12-month interim report and 24-month final report. Prior recipients of this grant are ineligible to receive consecutive year funding and may only reapply during the third year after receiving the grant. For example, a nonprofit receiving a TF-GOS Grant in 2022 would be eligible to reapply in 2025.
Target Funding Grants-General Operating Support
Target Funding Grants-General Operating Support (GOS) range in value up to $50,000 and support non-profit organizations focused on the behavioral health and human service needs of children, young adults, and their families in Bucks County, Pa.
