Charity Application and Selection Process
The Country Club of the South Charity Guild is excited to announce the Grant application process for this year.
Our 2025 goal is to fund seven Large Grant charities for up to $30,000 each and three Small Grant charities for $10,000 each. Applications will be available on our website (charityguild.org) at 9am on Friday November 1.
The membership of the Guild will vote to select the charities that will receive funding.
The first 21 qualified and completed applications for Large Grants (up to $30,000) and the first 9 qualified and completed applications for Small Grants ($10,000) will be considered for funding. We strongly recommend that you complete the application promptly in order to get a spot on the ballot. Voting will occur in January and we will announce the winning charities shortly thereafter.
