Planning Grant

General Guidelines

To be eligible for Capital and Construction Grants from the City of Muskogee Foundation (CoMF), applicants are required to have completed appropriate organizational, financial and facilities planning. Recognizing that specific and specialized planning may be beyond the financial capacity of some organizations, CoMF accepts applications for Planning Grants to community-based, nonprofit, governmental and educational organizations in Muskogee, OK. Applications for Capital Campaign or Construction grants will not be accepted by CoMF until the Board of Directors has approved all plans and supporting documentation.

To be considered for a CoMF Planning Grant qualified organizations must have achieved exceptional community impact and have a demonstrated need. Organizations that have the experience and resources to conduct appropriate planning activities for a capital project without CoMF assistance are welcome to submit those plans to the CoMF Board of Directors for approval prior to applying for a Capital / Construction Grant. All plans must contain the CoMF Planning Grant components and requirements.
