The Chaka Khan Foundation’s grant review committee evaluates each application and selects those organizations demonstrating the most promise and need. The grant review committee looks for organizations that have clearly defined goals, effective cost control and skilled management. Other factors considered during the grant review include the percentage of total revenues the nonprofit applies to direct program services. The Foundation strongly discourages contact with the individual members of the committee or the Board regarding specific applications.
Should further information be required, the Foundation will contact the applicant’s organization. An interview or site visit may be conducted or additional information and supporting data may be requested.
Applicants will be notified in writing when their application has been received and again when the committee has made a decision.
The Foundation will not reconsider applications for programs that already have been denied unless the applicant is invited by the Foundation to revise and resubmit the application.
The board of directors of the Chaka Khan Foundation makes all final grant decisions.
All grantees are required to submit six-month and one year reports.
Proposals must be received by the due date in order to be considered for the giving cycle.
