Limited Submissions

The Garneau-Nicon Family Foundation was established in 2011 for the purpose of supporting charitable purposes in the Greater Puget Sound Region emphasizing but not necessarily limited to scientific, medical, religious, artistic, and literary or educational purposes.

 

  1. Grants will only be made in accordance with IRS rules and requirements of Section 501(C)(3) and related sections.
  2. If you are applying for a “Capital Improvement” grant that you need to raise additional funds

in order to complete the project, you must have at least 40% of the total raised and collected before we will accept your application for research.

 

Small Grants: may range from $5,000.00 to $25,000.00. Large Grants: may range from $25,000.00 to $50,000.00. Successive Grants may be allowed based on the results of previous grants. Only one grant application may be filed per calendar year by any individual and or Organization/Group.  The calendar year is defined as January 1st through December 31st.

 

The Foundation prefers proposals from Groups or Individuals that clearly describes how their program may make a positive difference in the lives and experience of the citizens of the greater Puget Sound Region in a way that is not otherwise supported or not fully developed. The Foundation will consider requests for capital maintenance projects, education and training, program expansion, scientific, medical, religious, literary, and artistic purposes. The proposal should clearly state how the requested grant will measurably improve the group or individual’s mission.
