How to obtain funding

In our pursuit to make a positive impact, we seek out initiatives aligned with our Vision, Mission, and Values,. Funds are given by invitation to entities aligned with our mission and values. Our screening process comprises two steps: Entity Evaluation and Proposal Evaluation. Through these steps, we aim to ensure that the projects we support truly resonate with our core principles and have the potential to create meaningful change.

Entity Evaluation

To be considered for a grant, an entity should showcase financial stability, tax-exempt status, and successfully pass a conflict check, along with other criteria. If your organization seeks evaluation for a current or future grant, please submit the following information. We're excited to explore how we can work together to make a difference.

  • Entity description (vision, mission, values, impact in the community, population served, etc.)
  • Current financial statements (audited preferred)
  • 501(c)3 determination lette
  • Form 990 and/or equivalent
  • Board of Directors or Trustees listing with affiliations

We prioritize entities that have a proven track record of achieving measurable results and those with whom we can actively engage to witness the impact of our support.

Proposal Evaluation

Periodically, we may release Requests for Proposals (RFPs) or direct invitations to entities that align with our mission and campaign focus. While proposals are typically considered only during these RFP periods, entities are welcome to seek Entity Evaluation at any time throughout the year to be added to our approved list. Projects are thoughtfully evaluated by the MCS Foundation team and Board of Directors, following the criteria set in the RFP or other applicable means, all in harmony with our pillars and mission. We hold a special preference for projects that envision measurable outcomes and offer opportunities for direct engagement, allowing us to witness the true impact of the funds provided.
