DESCRIPTION: The Meyer Memorial Trust operates a general purpose grants program to support projects relate to arts and humanities, education, health, social welfare, and a variety of other activities. There are no limitations on the size or duration of the grants that may be requested under this program. In reviewing requests, the Trust looks for proposals that have the promise of broad-scale or long-term impact on significant issues. It is necessary for an organization to submit a formal proposal in order for the Trust to determine if a project is within its grantmaking interests. Applicants are also encouraged to seek other sources of support, since the Trust will be able to fund only a small percentage of the proposals it receives. TARGET AUDIENCE: 300 - General Public, Consumers SUBJECT AREAS: Health care, Social services FINANCIAL INFORMATION FUND DURATION: Open ended. TYPE OF SUPPORT: Project grants. APPLICATION DEADLINE: Open ended INTENDED AWARD DATE: 5 - 6 mos. following application submission. ORGANIZATION ELIGIBILITY TYPE: IRS 501 (c)(3) Organization Non Profit LOCATION: OR. Greater Metropolitan Portland area, WA. FUND REQUIREMENTS LOCATION: OR. Greater Metropolitan Portland area, WA. ELIGIBILITY: Other eligible applicants are government entities such as public schools. LIMITATIONS: The Trust generally will not favor proposals seeking funds for: direct grants, scholarships, or loans to individuals; endowment; general fund drives or annual appeals; indirect or overhead costs, except as specifically and essentially related to the grant project; debt retirement or operational deficits; projects of sectarian or religious organizations whose principal benefit is for their own members or adherents; or propagandizing or influencing elections or legislation. Ineligible applicants are those that are "private foundations" as defined under Section 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.

DESCRIPTION: The Meyer Memorial Trust operates its Small Grants Program to assist a large number of worthy organizations with a wide variety of small projects that are limited in scope but nevertheless significant for the applicant organization. It is unlikely that many of these grants will go to large organizations. An organization that has received a grant under another Trust Program is eligible to apply, but not for an activity related to the previous grant. Please keep the following in mind when applying: this program is designed to support small projects, not to contribute small amounts to much larger budgets; projects that can occur only after certain "contingencies" are met will not be considered; it is not intended that support be provided for ongoing activities that will not change in any significant way; and proposals that are not complete in all respects at the time they are submitted will not be considered. Applicants to the Trust should seek other sources of support, since the Trust will be able to fund only a small percentage of the proposals it receives. Special guidelines for this program are available upon request from the Trust office.
