IECA Microgrant Application Form 2025
Description
The Foundation will award multiple microgrants in the amount of $2,000 each to selected organizations that align with our mission -- organizations where you, an IECA member, have had an ongoing relationship serving young people as they move forward in their education. The Foundation recognizes and prioritizes organizations that are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, and organizations that serve underserved and under-resourced populations. If you volunteer your time and services or raise funds for a nonprofit benefiting youth and young adults, the organization qualifies to be a microgrant applicant.
Please note the following criteria prior to submitting your application:
You may not be a paid staff member of this organization.
The organization must operate in the United States and have official 501(c)(3) status.
The organization’s operating budget must be below $1 million.
Please find the qualifying nomination form below. The deadline for nominations is Monday, March 17, 2025 at 11:59PM.
Each IECA member may nominate one non-profit organization. Recipients will be announced at the IECA Conference in May.
The IECA Foundation supports the purpose of every consultant’s work -- to help children and young adults find the best possible choices for their education. For over twenty-five years the Foundation, the philanthropic arm of IECA, has been funding worthy programs that help children and young adults find promising educational opportunities. Help us highlight the work that YOU as an individual do with organizations fulfilling the mission of the IECA Foundation.
