To meet the needs of the community during the coronavirus crisis, the Community Foundation of Broward has changed our usual grantmaking process to get resources where they are needed the most as quickly as possible. As a result:

‍

1. Grants may be renewed or awarded based on pressing community needs, without an RFP process.
2. Grant applications to fill targeted gaps in community services may be offered by invitation only, via email invitations.
3. Updated guidelines and outcomes to be achieved will be provided when a new RFP cycle opens up. We are not accepting applications under this area at this time.

For more information email Strategic Grants Manager, Angelica Rosas at arosas@cfbroward.org.
