IHC Grants Guidelines
Granted amounts will vary and will be between $100 and $1000. Buildings, salaries, and political causes will not be considered for grant funding.
Proposals are evaluated by the Grants Advisory Committee. Each member of the Grant Committee reviews all requests, rating each from 1-10 in priority for funding. Grant applications are rated on demonstration of need, leverage of other funds, and proposed evaluation of results. Once completed, all numerical priorities are aggregated into on list from highest priority ratings to lowest. Once the list is compiled, the committee meets to decide how much funding goes to each of the different proposals.
Funds granted by the Iowa Horse Council will be available to the grantee for a 12-month period unless otherwise specified or agreed to at the time of the grant award or by subsequent action of the Iowa Horse Council. It is understood that, if the terms of the agreement are not met, or if the project is not completed within a 12-month period, the funds will revert back to the Iowa Horse Council and the award cancelled.
This grant is to be used exclusively for the purposes specified in the letter of award, which may represent all or any part of, a project specified in the grant application. Any portion of grant funds not used for the specific purpose(s) specified by the Iowa Horse Council shall be returned to the Iowa Horse Council.
Grantee will acknowledge the contribution of the Iowa Horse Council to this program or project wherever and whenever appropriate to the project or program. This could include but not be limited to press releases, construction signage, brochures or programs (i.e. This program/project made possible by funds contributed by the Iowa Horse Council.)
