To be eligible for consideration for a PACF Diamond Anniversary Special Event Grant, an organization must be one for which the PACF presently manages an agency fund, or one that has received a PACF (or regional affiliate of PACF) grant within the last two years, and that is in compliance with the PACF’s general requirements to receive a charitable grant.

The nonprofit must be planning to hold its special event between June 1, 2023, and Dec. 31, 2023. An abbreviated grants process is being used to apply for these grants; applications will be considered on a rolling basis until the available funds have been fully committed at which time the application will close. One-time events will be considered for sponsorships of ranging from $600-$1600; events that may occur over multiple days may request up to $2,600.

In reviewing Diamond Anniversary Special Event grant requests, the PACF will consider 3 factors:

  1. How does the event for which the Diamond Anniversary grant is requested further one or more of the Foundation’s five core values, which are:
    1. Partnering – cultivating connections and working with others to accomplish our shared goal of a better community;
    2. Learning – being open to new ideas, to embracing innovation, by seeking to grow in our thinking;
    3. Generosity – encouraging everyone to give what they can of their time, talent and/or resources to improve our region for generations to come;
    4. Inclusiveness – demonstrating compassion and regard for all people;
    5. Integrity – being good stewards; making efficient, effective use of human, financial and material resources.
  2. How the event sponsor will acknowledge the PACF’s 60th Anniversary as part of its event and related promotions; and,
  3. How the event will support the PACF’s vision of encouraging our region’s residents to be “welcoming, engaged and resilient.”

The deadline for application submission is May 6.
