The Cloudsplitter Foundation is dedicated to improving the future for the flora, fauna, communities, and people of the Adirondacks.
These grants are to support a well-defined project or program that has a defined need, budget, and associated supporting documentation. There is no upper limit on such grants, but they are generally limited to 20% of the project or program’s cost.
Foundation areas of interest
Priority grants will:
Have a clear strategic purpose, leverage (e.g., attracting other funders)
Generate maximum environmental or community returns
Help under-served populations and those with the greatest need
Be collaborative (between organizations and/or government)
Go to prior grantees who have performed against their grant criteria
Address the stresses on our local food supply, healthcare, childcare, and small businesses
Grant requests for capital campaigns will be regarded more favorably if they are a matching grant and the resulting structure or facility has a significant impact on the community.
Lowest priority will be given to grants seeking to build an endowment or reserves.
