The following areas fall outside the AMY Wellness Foundation scope of support:
Our primary service areas are:
Avery,
Mitchell, and
Yancey Counties.
We aim to support programs and organizations working in these counties. We encourage anyone outside of these areas to investigate collaborative asks with organizations who have a physical presence in our service area and the capacity to serve as the fiscal agent for the project.
AMY Wellness Foundation remains focused on supporting key health priorities identified by the community. Applications may be submitted for programs and initiatives supporting Mental Health, Food Security, and Housing for up to $10,000.
Initiatives outside of those primary focus areas that are health related are eligible for up to $5,000. These focus areas aim to continue to make meaningful impact on the community needs supported by the selected organizations.
Time is of the essence for many organizations, and the Impact Grants program reflects this urgency. Applicants can expect a swift turnaround time for funding decisions, providing the support they need.
Decisions will be made 30-45 days after the cycle closes.
All grant recipients are required to submit a final report that includes an annual report and financial statements. Audits are no longer required by the Foundation.
The Foundation understands the importance of minimizing the administrative burden on non-profit organizations. The application process has been re-designed to be low-stress, allowing applicants to focus on their mission rather than navigating complex paperwork.
Grant applications related to Food, Mental Health, and Housing are capped at $10,000. Grant applications outside of those funding priorities are eligible to receive up to $5,000.
Grantees may only receive funding once a year.
If a grant is awarded, a grantee can not seek any rollover requests.
