Grant Request Guidelines
Introduction
The Colorado Blueliners Booster Club (CBBC) established the grant process
to encourage club members to become more involved in setting the direction
of the CBBC's participation in supporting the sport of hockey. It will
allow the CBBC to seek out and support hockey-related needs.
The following must be submitted to the Colorado Blueliners Community
Fund Committee (CBCFC), before any Community Fund Request (CFR) will
be considered.
Letter or proposal, stating specific project for funding and requested
amount plus a completed Colorado Blueliners Booster Club Community
Fund Request Form.
Copy of your organization's Federal exemption letter from the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) indicating exemption under sections 501(c)(3)
or 509(a)(1), if applicable.
Grant Process
All Community Fund Requests (CFR) will be accepted during the club
year (October - September). The CBCFC will review completed requests
no more than once per month, unless extreme conditions dictate. The
CBCFC may have questions, which must be answered by the requesting organization
within a specified timeline. The CBCFC will vote to recommend funding
of a request. Those requests approved by the CBCFC will be recommended
to the Board of Directors for their approval, then will be brought to
the general membership for final approval. Final approval shall be an
approve/disapprove vote of the membership (in good standing) at the
given General Membership meeting. When all conditions are met, the monies
will be requested via the CBCFC with signatures from a quorum of the
members, including the Board of Directors liaison, and submitted for
payment to the Treasurer for payment within 30 days.
Priority consideration is given to projects with:
Colorado Blueliners member (in good standing) involvement,
Local and/or regional locale (i.e. Denver and the Front Range from Ft. Collins to Pueblo),
Greater numbers of people helped,
That provides recognition for the Colorado Blueliners Booster Club.
The CBCFC votes whether to fund the funding request within
the existing fiscal budgetary considerations. Subsequent
funding requests may be submitted; however, only one request
per calendar year will
be approved.
Ineligible Requests
Some of the areas which the Colorado Blueliners Community Fund will
not fund are:
Non-Hockey-related requests
United Way Requests
Religious organizations requiring service attendance or monetary
contribution in order to participate
Organizations that discriminate on the basis of race, sex,
gender, religion, national origin or political affiliation
Memberships, general contributions, endowments, advertising,
or capital campaigns
Voting (includes changing the Community Fund Guidelines)
* 2/3 of the CBCFC members will constitute a quorum
* There must be a quorum in order to call for a vote
* 2/3 of the votes cast will carry the vote (positive or negative)
Mission Statement
