[from Philanthropy News Digest] Established in 1954, the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation seeks to provide other nonprofit organizations with the means to educate the public about the special needs of children across the United States.
To help achieve its mission, the organization annually provides funding to nonprofits that 1) contribute to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual welfare of children through the dissemination of knowledge about new and innovative organizations and/or programs designed to benefit youth; and/or 2) contribute to the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual welfare of children through the dissemination of knowledge already possessed by well-established organizations so that such information can be more adequately used by society.
Applications are invited from nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations conducting programs that have the potential to help American children in a large geographic area (more than one state). Grants may not be used for the normal, day-to-day operating expenses of the grantee or for special operating expenses connected with the grant.
In 2010, the foundation awarded a total of $666,670 in grants to twenty-one nonprofit organizations.
Applications will be accepted beginning May 1, 2011. Visit the foundation Web site for complete program guidelines, application instructions, and information on previously funded projects.
