Home Depot Foundation
Category: Homelessness & Poverty
DescriptionThe Foundation’s Affordable Housing Built Responsibly program awards grants to nonprofits whose missions align with the Foundation’s interests in supporting the production and preservation of affordable, efficient, and healthy housing. Most of the Foundation’s grants are awarded through the direct solicitation of proposals from high-performing nonprofits with demonstrated ability to create strong partnerships, impact multiple communities, and leverage grant partners. But to identify potential future nonprofit partners or respond to unique community revitalization opportunities, a limited amount of unsolicited grant funding is set aside to be awarded through a competitive process. Preference is given to proposals that encourage community involvement and result in the production, preservation, or financing of housing units for low- to moderate-income families. Of particular interest are proposals that incorporate a number of “green” building design practices. In 2009, preference will be given to proposals that clearly demonstrate how urban forestry strategies will be utilized to create healthier, more vibrant communities. Additional information including a definition of “green” building practices and an online Letter of Inquiry form can be found on the Web site. Letters of inquiry are due on March 1 and July 1, 2009.
