The FACES (Freeman Assists Communities with Extra Support) program is designed to find and fund the smaller, overlooked projects in our neighborhoods. Founded in 2000 in Delaware, FACES stands for "Freeman Assists Communities with Extra Support." For more details, visit our website. Our belief is that too often, it is the major nonprofit organizations with visibility and ample support that win donors' attention. The FACES program is designed to find and fund the smaller, overlooked projects in our neighborhoods and utilize a volunteer advisory board composed of community leaders who evaluate grant applications and recommend funding choices. The FACES advisory board provides a unique insight into community needs and priorities and allows us to support projects that are most important to the community.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Organizations must have an annual operating budget of $500,000 or less.
- Organizations must have been in operation for a minimum of two (2) full years.
- All FACES grant funds must stay in Sussex County, DE and be used to support programming for Sussex County residents.
