Blueridge Community FUNdation

If you have been thinking about setting up an event such as a chess tournament, a musical recital, a creek clean-up, or even a scavenger hunt, then here is your chance to make it happen!

The Blueridge Community FUNdation (BCF)  has been created by the Blueridge Community Association (BCA) to provide assistance to residents wanting to host non-profit events and/or activities within Blueridge/Seymour Heights for the benefit of the community.

Here is how to get started! Once you have your event planned out, you can apply to the BCF by filling out this simple application form:

Blueridge Community FUNdation grant application

Successful applications can receive up to $250 per approved event or activity per year! The Blueridge Community Association will provide the BCF with a total of $1000 every year, which means there can be at least 4 applications approved for amazing community events and/or activities (if they are all applying for the maximum of $250 each). However, more applications could be approved if some or all applications are less than $250 (the maximum) each, as long as the aggregate amount does not exceed $1,000.

All applications will be received by the BCF Committee and reviewed for appropriateness as they are submitted. The cut-off for same-year funding is September 1 of any given year. Members of the BCF Committee are noted on the BCA website’s People page.

When the BCF approves an application, you will be contacted directly. If approved, the funds can be provided before or after the event/activity has taken place; the application form will allow you to specify this. Please note that all funds will require the provision of receipts for goods and services utilized to support the event.

If you are interested in applying to the BCF, please fill out the Blueridge Community FUNdation grant application form.

If you have questions, please email fundation@blueridgeca.org, and a BCF committee member will get back to you shortly.
