| The Scurlock Foundation is a private foundation and does not accept unsolicited grant requests. Quarterly meetings are held in February, May, September and November with grant submissions due on the first day of the month and one month prior to each quarterly meeting to be considered for funding. Pre-selected non-profits should make requests by letter, along with pertinent information regarding the organization. If applicable, information regarding support from other sources is helpful. Only 501(c)(3) organizations may submit. The By-Laws prohibit contributions to individuals. Any questions as to qualifications or any other issues should be posed to Mrs. Kathy Munger, Administrator/Secretary (713) 236-0550 or e-mail kmunger@swbell.net. |
| A one page cover letter can be e-mailed and all supporting documents should be sent via conventional mail, overnight or hand-delivered. Greater detailed descriptions of both your organization and any programs/projects for which you may be requesting funds may be sent in the suggested form of a one to four (1-4) page letter with your supporting documents. The following documents are required for submission; the organization’s Letter of Determination from the Internal Revenue Service (the entire document)—this document is a letter from the IRS in which your 501(c)(3) status is granted (if you are a religious organization under an umbrella Determination we ask for a copy of the page in the Official Directory of your “Church” listing your organization as an affiliate). We must have proof and documentation from you that your organization is not only exempt under IRS 501 (c)(3) and is still classified as a publicly supported organization pursuant to IRS 509 (a) (1), (2), or (3), and the first page of Form 990; if your organization has undergone a name change since your formation, we also ask for a copy of the document from the IRS acknowledging said name change (if your organization has undergone multiple name changes we do need documents acknowledging all name changes). Also, a list of your current Board of Directors; a current/proposed operating budget for the organization (if a national organization, we ask for the budget of the local office only) and, lastly, if requesting funding for a specific project or program we also ask for the current/proposed project/program budget. Current policy is to make decisions on the basis of the written proposal rather than by appointments for discussion as all Directors have long standing interests and involvement in philanthropic issues in the Houston area. |
