Community Opportunity Fund: Safety-Net Services
Grants will be made to programs that help low-income and disadvantaged children and adults as well as
newly vulnerable individuals and families who now struggle given the economic downturn meet basic
needs for food and shelter. The community foundation will award grants for continuation and expansion
of direct food and shelter services and to organizations that provide people with access to food, homeless
prevention services and shelter (e.g. information and referral, rental assistance and/or case management
services). General operating support requests related to food and shelter services will be considered under
this RFP. Ineligible requests include development and support for, or maintenance of, permanent affordable
housing.
