GRANT REQUEST

What funds are available?

The money raised through Papoose Club events and fundraisers is donated back to the community – specifically to support cultural, social, educational and athletic activities for the children of Blaine County.

How does it work?

Each month at its membership meetings, the Club will consider requests from various organizations that are in need of financial support.

Here are the steps to be considered:

  1. Organization fills out and submits a request.

  2. Club considers request; organization is put on meeting agenda

  3. Organization makes brief presentation at meeting

  4. Club informs organization whether request has been granted

Guidelines:

The mission of Papoose Club is to promote and assist cultural, social, educational and athletic activities for the children of the Wood River Valley, and to raise money to further these purposes. 

​

General guidelines:

  • Grant requests must come from a 501c3 non-profit organization, or a program that operates under the fiscal sponsorship of another non-profit.

  • Grant requests can be made once a grant cycle (September - June).  If your project needs consideration an additional time during the cycle, please contact president@papooseclub.org to discuss.

  • Our most common grant amount is $2,000.  If a request of a higher amount is needed, please first contact president@papooseclub.org to discuss the extenuating circumstances.

  • Funds must directly benefit youth of the Blaine County.

  • Requests that benefit a larger number of children are favored over those that benefit only a few.

  • Funds can be used for direct program expenses, scholarships or events.

  • Funds cannot be used for administrative or operating costs (i.e. salaries, marketing, advertising, insurance, or day-to-day expenses).

  • Please only submit complete requests, and include all the required information.

  • We ask that if you are awarded funds, you will volunteer at one of our events (ex. Pancake Breakfast at Wagons Days, or baking cookies for the Holiday Bazaar).
