FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What types of organizations does the Mollohan Foundation
support?
The Foundation typically funds small, community-based
organizations that support educational, cultural, or
scientific projects and activities. It looks for
organizations that provide a needed service in their
community and have a demonstrated record of success.
How much money is available through the Community
Outreach Program?
The Mollohan Foundation offers grants up to $5000. There are
occasions when additional funding is granted, but it is
rare.
Does my organization have to be a 501(c) 3 to be eligible
for a grant?
Although it is not mandatory, the Foundation does prefer
organizations that have nonprofit status. The Committee on
Community Outreach will consider this issue on a
case-by-case basis.
Can I split my award over several years?
Yes, under certain circumstances, the Foundation would be
willing to entertain this idea if it is in the best interest
of the Foundation and the program/project being funded.
When I submit my grant application, what documentation do
I need to include?
Once you decide to apply for a grant through our Foundation,
you should fill out the grant application. Along with the
grant application, you should provide us with information
about your organization and the program you are requesting
funding for. You will want to include the organization’s
primary mission and purpose, a brief history of the
organization, current goals and budget information (please
include detailed program budget information along with any
organization budgets), why funding in needed and how it will
be used. It is to your advantage to be as specific as
possible.
Can I apply for the grant more than once?
Yes, but please be aware that the Foundation rarely awards
funds to the same project twice.
Are there any projects that the Mollohan Foundation will
not support?
The Mollohan Foundation does not provide funding for “bricks
and mortar” projects, i.e. we do not provide money for
construction or renovation projects. Likewise, the Mollohan
Foundation does not provide grants for general operating
budgets, salaries, or overhead expenses. The Foundation also
does not support annual campaign or general fundraisers.

Yes, in fact, we encourage it. If you would like to discuss
your grant proposal before submission, please contact our
office at 304.333.6783.
