Annually, the Lummi Island Community Association awards grants to support projects benefitting our community.
Grant Request Forms must be received in our P.O. Box by December 15th
It is the policy of LICA to provide grants, if funds are available, in support of other Lummi Island organizations and entities, as determined appropriate by a vote of the board, which are then presented at the Annual Meeting. In the past, the “grants” were handled as reimbursements, not a true Grant. We are now providing the funds up-front as an actual Grant. The organization only has to show that they used the funds for the Specific project.
The Life Cycle of a LICA Grant
| December 15th | Your completed application form must be received by LICA. Mail it to: LICA Grants, P.O. Box 163, Lummi Island, WA 98262-0163 |
| January Board Meeting | LICA Board of Directors reviews applications. In deciding whether to approve a grant, the board must be satisfied that the proposed project provides a specific benefit to the community, and that it will not jeopardize LICA’s tax-exempt status. Requests will not be approved for any project supporting personal, religious, or partisan political purposes. |
| January Annual Meeting | LICA membership votes on which applications to approve. |
| February 15th (or earlier) | LICA treasurer disburses funds for approved grants. |
| October 31st | The grant end date by which terms must be satisfied. |
| November 30th | Funded applicants must report expenditures and outcomes pursuant to the grant. Any unexpended funds must be returned to LICA. |
