The Minster Community Fund welcomes grant requests from organizations that benefit citizens in the Minster School District. To be eligible for a grant, an organization must be recognized as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, be nondiscriminatory, and address needs that are not met fully by existing organizational or community resources. 

​

Generally, grants are made: to help launch new projects which represent a unique and unduplicated opportunity for the community; to support established organizations for special purposes; and, to generate matching funds. The Fund particularly encourages proposals for projects which: 

• Encourage more efficient use of community resources and promote coordination, cooperation and sharing among organizations and the elimination of duplicated services. 

• Test or demonstrate new approaches and techniques in the solution of important community problems. 

• Could not be accomplished with other sources of support.

• Promote volunteer participation and citizen involvement in community affairs. 

• Strengthen non-profit agencies and institutions by reducing operating cost; increasing public financial support; and/or improving internal management.

​

The Distribution Committee meets and reviews applications quarterly.
