Application materials

See statement 16 eligibility criteria: the alleghany foundation is organized for charitable purposes, and grants are awarded to organizations which are tax-exempt under the IRS section 501(c)(3) and are not private foundations as described under section 509(a) as well as to qualifying political subdivisions. Priority is given to organizations serving the alleghany county, covington, and clifton forge areas with an emphasis on new and different endeavors to improve the community's quality of life. Although the foundation has not established inflexible limitations upon the purposes for which it will award grants, in general, grants will not be made for debt reduction, endowment funds, or ongoing general operating expenses or existing deficits. Whereas the alleghany foundation places a priority on project-support, there are times when general operating support is deemed critical to sustain non-profits in the region. Thus, general operating support is considered on a case by case basis.

Restrictions

Grants are generally awarded only to organizations within the foundation's geographic area (alleghany county, clifton forge & covington areas). Grants are not made to individuals or religious organizations.
