Submission Guidlines
We appreciate your submittal of a grant request to the Horne Family Foundation. Please review our qualification criteria to determine whether your organization may potentially receive a grant.
Grant Requirements
Tax Identification Number
Your organization needs to have a tax identification number to be considered for a grant. Only organizations that have federal non-profit agency tax status can receive financial support from our Foundation.
Areas of Interest
The Foundation’s mission is purposely broad, enabling it to support the work of many nonprofits that focus on improving the future for communities on a local, national and international basis. The majority of the Foundation’s grants are made in categories that are in alignment with the core values of the foundation: conservation, education, health and human services, the arts, wildlife preservation, international development and relief and environmental sustainability.
Types of Funding
Recognizing that the organizational infrastructure is a necessity, the Foundation welcomes requests for general operating support and efforts designed to increase organizational capacity. The Foundation also accepts requests for specific program initiatives or improvements. At this time, The Foundation does not accept requests for capital campaigns.
Geographic Focus
The Foundation seeks to distribute grants in the Merrimack Valley region and Southern New Hampshire, as well as endeavors on a national and global level.
Grant Size
Grants range in size from $2,500 to $25,000.
Submission Deadlines
The deadlines for submittal are March 31st and September 30th. The foundation will notify applicants by June 30th for those proposals received after September 30th and before March 31st, and by December 30th for proposals received after March 31st and before September 30th.
