Fisher House Foundation Seeks Proposals for Newman’s Own Awards for Service Members and Families

The Fisher House Foundation, a private-public partnership that supports America’s military in times of need, is accepting proposals for the 2015 Newman’s Own Awards from nonprofit organizations with creative ideas for improving the quality of life for service members and their families.

Grants of up to $50,000 will be awarded in recognition of the most innovative plans to improve the quality of life for active duty, Reserve, and National Guard service members, as well as veterans and their families. Award funds cannot be used to pay salaries or wages.

To be eligible, an organization must be comprised primarily of volunteers and/or be a nonprofit organization as defined under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. In addition, any organizations proposing programs that affect or take place on a Department of Defense installation will be asked to present documentation that their programs are approved for operation by the installation commander.

See the Fisher House website for complete program guidelines, an FAQ, and application instructions.

DEADLINE: APRIL 29, 2015
