Grant Application Minimum Criteria and Process

In May 2012 we will post a pre-application checklist. Qualifying organizations will be invited to submit the checklist to Amigos for review by August 15, 2012. The Projects Committee will then send an application to organizations that meet Amigos' mission and grant criteria. The submission deadline for grant applications is September 15, 2012.

The minimum criteria are as follows:

  1. Organization has had an Asociación Civil (AC) status for at least three years.
  2. Organization can provide Amigos with a copy of their legal status.
  3. Organization uses official, numbered receipts with a cedula.
  4. Project serves the most disadvantaged communities of San Cristóbal or Chiapas.
  5. Project addresses education, health, or economic development.
  6. Project does not have a political or religious purpose.
  7. Organization is willing to have Amigos members visit their project.
  8. Organization is willing to complete a progress update and an annual written report.
  9. Organization is willing to provide Amigos with photographs and information that Amigos can use in its newsletters, webpage, and communication with potential donors.

Again, the pre-application checklist will be posted in May 2012. Thank you for your service to others and for your interest in partnering with Amigos.
