The Harvey Area Community Foundation awards grants to benefit projects or nonprofit organizations in the Harvey area of North Dakota. This grant program is affiliated with the North Dakota Community Foundation, operating as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation. The foundation's mission aligns with supporting community well-being by funding initiatives that address local needs and foster positive change within Harvey and its surrounding communities.
The target beneficiaries of these grants are organizations designated as 501(c)(3) nonprofits or government agencies. Grants are specifically awarded to organizations within Harvey and surrounding communities, as determined by the Advisory Committee. Religious organizations may also be eligible, provided their activities are non-denominational and serve the entire community, ensuring a broad and inclusive impact.
The funding priorities emphasize projects or programs that benefit a greater number of residents. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate that they will seek or have secured other funding sources, indicating a focus on leveraging resources and ensuring sustainability. Low priority is given to requests for operating funds or day-to-day expenses, as well as requests for multiple-year funding, suggesting a preference for project-specific and shorter-term initiatives.
The expected outcomes include a positive impact on the Harvey area through various projects. Measurable results would likely be tied to the number of residents benefiting from a project or program, and the success of securing additional funding. While not explicitly stated as a formal theory of change, the foundation's strategic priority is clearly to invest in initiatives that provide widespread community benefit and demonstrate a commitment to resourceful implementation.
