Social Venture Fund |
YorIT is an organization founded by a group of committed York residents that have come together to create a social venture capital grant-making program to achieve real impact with measurable results in the local community. Each year, YorIT members choose a theme that aligns with the needs of the local community and invites local nonprofits to develop campaigns and programs as a means to make a real difference. The theme for 2010 is Arts and Culture in downtown York.
The YorIT Grant is unique in that it is funded by a committed group of individuals, managed by York County Community Foundation, focused on the York region and distributed based on the membership’s approval.
This year’s YorIT grant applications are due on April 16th, 2010. Links to the grant application materials are listed below. Grant applicants should be prepared to make a formal presentation to the YorIT membership at their Grant Selection Event scheduled for May 15, 2010. At this event, members will cast their vote for their chosen nonprofit (or organizations without 501(c)(3) status may collaborate with a fiscal agent), with the majority vote going to the winning grant recipient.
The 2010 YorIT Grants are awarded up to the amount of $12,500. The number of grants actually awarded is based on the application’s financial need and outlined program funding requirements.
Those receiving the YorIT Grant are required to report results on a quarterly basis to the YorIT Grant Committee, which will then update the membership on their investment’s progress. A final completion report should be given to the YorIT Grant Committee upon completion (limited to 12 months after the award is made).
