Viking Foundation proposal deadline approaches
Polk County nonprofits - 2014 funds may soon be available for your organization.
October 1, 2014 is the deadline this year for receipt of project-funding proposals supported by the Viking Foundation of Lincoln. The Viking Foundation was created to help improve and enrich the lives of individuals - especially children - who are less fortunate.
The foundation will provide charitable grants again this year, on behalf of specific individuals and families, to other 501(c)(3) organizations in Polk County, Iowa and two other counties. Viking Foundation grants will benefit those who are challenged with education, poverty, housing, gender, mental and physical health, and other issues. A minimum of $50,000 in funds will be awarded, with preference given to proposals in the $5,000 to $10,000 range.
