The Georgetown-Millsboro Rotary Flags for Heroes Grant is a local funding opportunity administered by the Delaware Community Foundation. This program supports nonprofit organizations that address community needs in the towns of Georgetown and Millsboro, located in Sussex County, Delaware. Grant awards typically range from $500 to $5,000. Preference is given to organizations physically located in Georgetown or Millsboro, although applications are also accepted from statewide nonprofits if they are state agencies.
To be eligible, applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations. Organizations that received a grant in the 2024 cycle are not eligible to apply in 2025. The funding focus includes support for programs that assist disadvantaged individuals or contribute to broader community service efforts.
The application for the 2025 grant cycle opened on September 1 and will close on October 31, 2025. Applications must be submitted online through the Delaware Community Foundation portal. The application process includes providing program descriptions, action plans, evaluation methods, and demographic data. Required attachments include a program budget, IRS 501(c)(3) letter, a list of board members, and optional supplemental documents such as testimonials or articles.
Grant payments are processed via ACH transfer. If an organization has not received a grant from DCF since March 2020 or has new banking information, additional documentation is required for payment processing. All applications must be signed by the executive director and the individual completing the application, affirming the organization's nondiscrimination policy and agreement with grant terms.
Prioritize projects located in or directly impacting Georgetown or Millsboro. Ensure clear community benefit and readiness to provide ACH payment documentation.
