2024-25 St. James Service Club Funding Request Form

Applications due February 15, 2025

The St. James Service Club has funds available to grant to non-profits in Brunswick County. To effectively conduct the vetting process of the high volume of grant requests, we need to be able to discern the impact a particular project will have on the Brunswick County community as well as the level of financial need among these non-profits. Therefore, our grant request process has been updated to include an online request form that encompasses the need for more information than required in the past. This year, we are attaching a copy of the entire application (pdf format) so that you may review the requested information prior to completing the application online.

Please note that Google does not allow you to upload documents directly from your Google drive to ours. Additionally, we have instituted a naming convention protocol for each file uploaded to help us organize the voluminous documents we receive. Please use these naming conventions when uploading your files.

Brief mid-year and year-end status reports will be requested from organizations receiving grants.

Upon receiving your grant application on or before Saturday, February 15, 2025, a representative from the Grants Committee listed below will contact you to arrange an on-site visit and/or phone call to further discuss your application and address any specific questions or clarifications needed. The Grants Committee will make its recommendations to the SJSC Executive Committee who will then review these recommendations and determine grant recipients and amounts.

Each applicant will be notified of the final decision by the Community Organization Chair in April 2025. If you are chosen to receive a grant, we will invite one (1) representative from your organization to our Spring Awards Brunch on Wednesday, May 14, 2025.

We look forward to reviewing your completed application and meeting with you soon. If you have any questions regarding the process or the form, please email us at communityorgchair@sjserviceclub.org.

Sincerely,

St. James Service Club Grants Committee
