American Legion Child Welfare Foundation Accepting Requests for Applications
Deadline: July 1, 2005 (Request for Application)

The American Legion Child Welfare Foundation, Inc. (<a href="http://www.cwf-inc.org/">http://www.cwf-inc.org/</a>) is accepting proposals from nonprofit organizations for projects that meet one of the foundation’s two basic purposes:

1) To contribute to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual welfare of children through the dissemination of knowledge about new and innovative organizations and/or their programs designed to benefit youth; and

2) To contribute to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual welfare of children through the dissemination of knowledge already possessed by well-established organizations, to the end that such information can be more adequately used by society.

Grants, which are awarded for a period of one year, range from $1,500 to $70,000 and average about $22,000.

Grants must have the potential to help American children in a large geographic area (more than one state), and are awarded only to nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations.

Applications are mailed to requesting organizations only from April 1 through July 1, inclusive of the current year. Requests received after July 1 will be held for the next grant year. Deadline for receipt of all applications is July 15 of the current year.
