To be eligible for a Program Grant, an organization is required to:

• Be physically located in the state of Arizona;
• Have a classification as an organization exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code with a valid IRS Tax ID. Organizations without a valid IRS Tax ID must have a fiscal sponsor submit the application;

• Typically distributed for program expenses that directly impact the clients served by the organization.
• Focus areas include homelessness, indigent healthcare and youth programs of all types. Other requests may be considered but should fall within the human services category. Programs operated by schools and/or youth sports leagues qualify for other grant programs and are typically not funded through this process.
• Awards fall within the range of $1,000 to $5,000.
• Organizations that have received a Program Grant in the past are eligible to reapply.
• The program or project must be completed and all funds expended within one year of the award date which is December 31, 2019.
