THE WCMA MEMBER APPLIES FOR A GRANT. EACH YEAR THE WCMA INVITES MEMBERS TO APPLY FOR A GRANT ON BEHALF OF A CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION.

ONE OF THE MAIN CRITERIA FOR FUNDING IS THAT THE WCMA MEMBER MUST BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED WITH THE ORGANIZATION AND IT MUST BE A 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT THAT SERVES WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA. THE APPLICATION PROCESS IS STRUCTURED TO MAKE IT EASY FOR BOTH WCMA MEMBERS AND ORGANIZATIONS TO APPLY. THE MEMBER FILLS OUT ONE FORM AND THE ORGANIZATION FILLS OUT A SEPARATE FORM.

SPECIFIC GRANT AMOUNTS ARE BASED ON A NUMBER OF CRITERIA INCLUDING: AMOUNT REQUESTED, NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS IMPACTED, PROGRAM AND ORGANIZATION BUDGET, WCMA MEMBER INVOLVEMENT, AND THE PROGRAM ITSELF. GRANT AMOUNTS ARE ALSO BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO AWARD AS GENERALLY, THE TOTAL AMOUNT REQUESTED IS MUCH GREATER THAN WHAT IS AVAILABLE. THE GRANT COMMITTEE IS COMPRISED OF ACTIVE WCMA MEMBERS, MANY OF WHOM HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH GRANT MAKING ORGANIZATIONS AND HAVE WORKED WITH NONPROFITS IN THE PAST.
