Your grant application is reviewed by the Youth Advisory Council. The council’s recommendations for funding are reviewed by Freeport Community Foundation’s board of directors. During this process, our staff may contact you for more information.
Step 5: Recipients announced
You will be notified by mail if your organization received full or partial funding or if funding has been denied. Decisions are typically made within 4-6 weeks after the application deadline.

The Foundation requires follow-up reports if your grant is approved.
If you have applied for and received a grant previously, additional grants will not be considered until the follow-up reports from your previous grant are on file in the Foundation office.
