Program Criteria
- Chapters must apply online to participate and receive pre-approval; funds will not be awarded for projects that have not been pre-approved
- Each chapter can only use this program for one non-profit organization per year; multiple fund-raisers can be held to reach $1,000, but only one check will be sent
- Funds will only be awarded to projects that are supporting a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
- After the project is complete, an online final report must be submitted
- Once the final report is submitted, the Chapter will receive a form to be completed by the non-profit and returned to Royal Neighbors in order to receive matching funds
This program is designed to support the fund-raising efforts of chapters. Royal Neighbors will only match funds raised through a fund-raising effort hosted by the chapter and not financial gifts made from chapter funds received through quarterly and annual funding.
