The Beehive Collective funds groups in Raleigh working to improve our community.
Beehive Small Grant is NOW OPEN: Download the 2012_Beehive_small_grant_application
This year we’re doing something new–and it involves giving away more grants! Through March 5, 2012 the Beehive is accepting applications for two small grants of $1,500 each to support nonprofits doing something super cool and/or radical. We’re looking for new and innovative projects that will make Raleigh an even better place.
Unlike our larger grant that we give away at the end of the year, there is no theme–the only requirements are that you are a nonprofit and that your work will impact Raleigh. The even better news is that the application is short and sweet–please find it attached. Please forward the RFP to any and all organizations that might qualify! Tell them to share the story of the great work they are doing and make sure to submit a proposal by March 5, 2012.
The grants committee will review the proposals we receive and select ten finalists for the membership to consider. Members will be able to read the finalists’ proposals and cast their votes online in late March. We will then announce the winner at a ‘Beers with Bees’ event in April. 2011 members and new 2012 members who have completed a pledge form and donated at least $25 by the start of the voting period will be eligible to vote online.
