FCP accepts grant applications for review from all non-profit human service organizations in Bucks County serving children and youth, with a focus on behavioral health and human services. In granting awards, FCP pays special attention to new applications for innovation or improvement in services provided by the organization. Organizations that are requesting funding for renewal grants for projects or programs may be limited, and/or have further requirements for continued funding. Please contact FCP for more information, if you are submitting a grant application for a project or program that was previously funded by FCP.

All decisions as to the final award or the amounts of grants shall be at the sole discretion of Foundations Community Parnership, whose decision shall be final.
