Grants

Make Your Project a Reality

The Hidden Treasures Thrift Store is staffed by volunteers from area congregations, friends, and local supporters. The store is managed by one hired staff member. All sales proceeds of the thrift store, beyond store expenses, are available to other local community charitable organizations in the East Valley as a grant through our Grant Process, subject to the following stipulations.

 

  • The charity is 501(c)(3) eligible with a valid IRS Tax ID or a K-12 public school providing free education in the East Valley region.

  • Grants are kept for use in the local area.

  • Grants are intended for the people the charity serves, not for overhead expenses.

  • The online grant application submission falls within the upcoming evaluation period. Grants will not be awarded for activities held in a prior evaluation cycle.

    • Cycle 1 – Opens April 01 and closes October 31. Review begins in November.

    • Cycle 2 – Opens November 01 and closes March 31. Review begins in April.

 

Please note that meeting our basic eligibility criteria does not guarantee funding. The number of applications we receive may outpace available funds.
