Application Guidelines
The Advisory Committee of the Mildred Faulkner Truman Foundation is instrumental in implementing the Foundation’s charitable mission.
Grants are made only to non-profit organizations that have tax-exempt status as defined by the Internal Revenue Service and that are situated in Tioga County, New York. Grants may be made to other qualified organizations when it is clear that a substantial direct benefit will accrue to residents of Tioga County and specifically the Owego, New York area.
Grants to municipal and public organizations with specific and defined projects may be awarded provided such projects are well conceived and do not directly replace tax money or other public money.
Grants may also be made to otherwise qualified organizations which are religious in nature or otherwise church related and which have clearly defined purposes that benefit the residents of Tioga County. However, such grant requests must be of a non-sectarian nature.
In general, the Foundation does not provide operating support for organizations.
Application Process
The Foundation’s Grant Advisor is responsible for processing all grant applications. Please discuss your organization’s proposal with the Grant Advisor prior to submitting a completed application.
