Supporting the Cape and Islands LGBT Community
Grants and Grantees
Each year in early winter, the GALE Fund solicits grant applications from groups on Cape Cod and the Islands. Applicants need to be non-profit organizations, but we can usually pair new or smaller groups who have not yet attained that status with other umbrella groups who share similar goals. The application addresses the project concept, the target population, the method(s) intended, a means of measuring the effect of the project, and a budget to impliment the project. Applications are reviewed by the GALE Fund in early spring and the best projects are matched with the funds available for distribution each year. Recommendations for funding are made to the Cape Cod Foundation Board of Directors, who then authorize the grants. Grantees are expected to submit a report on the results of their program, and members of the GALE Fund Advisory Board may visit the grantee to discuss their findings.
The 2010 grant cycle is closed. Check back in late 2010 for 2011 guidelines and application.
