FUNDING GUIDELINES

Variety – The Children's Charity is a non-profit organization committed to serving special-needs children. We primarily fund brick and mortar projects, equipment, programming, and other tangible items that directly serve children. We help support agencies that provide care, treatment, activities and shelter to critically ill, underprivileged, at-risk, and special needs children. Administrative needs (i.e., staffing, salaries, office space, etc) and other intangibles will not be considered for funding. If you have questions regarding eligibility, please contact Sheri McMichael at 515-243-4660 or sheri@varietyiowa.com

Funds may be distributed in Iowa and surrounding communities to accredited tax-exempt 501(c)(3) children's organizations only.

GRANT REVIEW PROCESS

The Variety Board of Directors forms subcommittees and assigns a liaison to each request. Your liaison will not act as an advocate or as an adversary, but rather as a collector of data. It is our intent to insure that liaisons do not have a potential conflict of interest. The liaison will contact your organization sometime in late June or July to follow up on your request. The review may be performed over the phone or the liaison may visit your organization. Your organization may be asked to make a short presentation to the subcommittee at the Variety office. If your organization does not fall within our guidelines, you will be notified accordingly.

The subcommittees will make recommendations to the Executive Charity Committee of the

Board of Directors. Final approval of all grant requests will be made by the full Variety Board of Directors. Disposition of each request is anticipated to be no later than August 31, 2012, at which time you will be notified of the Board's decision by letter.
