Charles D. Jacobus Family Foundation


Helpful Fundraising Tips, Please

1 Do not send the "common application" form. We will send it back as it contains way too much information.
2 Always refer to the Foundation as the Charles D. Jacobus Family Foundation in any communications or acknowledgement of gifts. This avoids any confusion with the other Jacobus Family Foundations. Informally, please use "CDJFF."
3 Read everything carefully and follow instructions.
4 If you do have questions, please call Missy MacLeod at (414) 577-0252 or email mmacleod@jacobusenergy.com. I like to speak with grantees and like to make sure that grant requests are appropriate. I try to return calls within a week.

5 Cover letters are important; please make cover letters concise. Please include a brief one-page summary of your organization, a brief summary of the project you want funded and the amount of the request. The cover letter is the one piece the Board of Directors always sees. If it is too long, they lose interest.
6 The Special Program Grant funds program-specific requests, not requests for operating or capital funding. You must outline a program with identifiable objectives, timeline, outcomes and budget. The budget for the whole program should not be larger than $100,000 (higher funding levels tend to indicate that the request is for operating funding). For examples of programs we've funded, please see the list of past recipients of Healthy Children's Initiative grants.
7 Requests for $7,500 or more must have a site visit to be considered
8 Applications that are in before noon on deadline dates are very appreciated. Applications must be received by 4:30 p.m. CST on deadline dates.
