The Calvin Fletcher’s Coffee Company Charitable Foundation will give preference to small nonprofits that may struggle for name recognition and have annual budgets of less than 1 million dollars. In addition, the foundation has established these eligibility guidelines for organizations applying for grants.

Applicants shall:

  • be recognized by the IRS, or have a fiscal agent that is recognized, as a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501(c)(3) code of the Internal Revenue.

  • attest that they do not discriminate by race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or disability.

  • be based in the greater Indianapolis area (including the seven counties surrounding Marion County).

Organizations are eligible to receive a grant once every two years.
