You apply through the NVFC, which administers the program for the corporate sponsors.

How to apply

- Review the current eligibility and what is offered (cash grants and pancake breakfast fundraiser kits).
- Submit the application through the NVFC during the open window.

Deadline: Annual program. Confirm the current application window on the NVFC site, as amounts and dates change year to year. (Annual cycle)
Funding: Modest. Recent cycles have offered roughly $50,000 in total grants plus hundreds of fundraiser kits, spread across many departments, so individual amounts are small. Confirm current figures on the program page.
