must also provide copies of advertising/ order forms for curriculum and/ or materials. if we don’t use all of the funding before the end of the fiscal year? Unused must be returned to the CVTF. we have been funded in the past, can we still apply? Yes. You may receive funding from CVTF more than once. However, CVTF encourages organizations to seek support from other sources, and in general CVTF strives to decrease the amount of funding to repeat agencies over time. It is also important that you demonstrate ways in which your program is expanding or changing in your application. Finally, it is imperative that you demonstrate why funds are not available for continuation of the program from other sources. if our tax exempt status is still in process? Agencies that have not completed their tax exempt status will not be funded. CVTF funding is available only to organizations that have achieved tax exempt status and are established as non-profit entities for several reasons: these organizations have had an opportunity to develop by-laws, a mission and a working Board, they are established in their community and they have been able to nurture ties to other agencies and entities within their region. These qualities support and foster the success of prevention programs and provide added reassurance that the agency will be able to complete the program as described. we use CVTF funding for building or renovation? CVTF funds may not be used for capital expenditures. we use CVTF funding for positions, salaries and benefits? CVTF discourages the use of CVTF money to fund salaries unless a new position is being created or funding for the prevention role is unavailable from any other source. However, in rare instances where an applicant demonstrates acute need for funds to be allocated to such areas, and only when the applicant demonstrates that efforts to secure funds from other sources have been futile, will CVTF consider such requests. Salary and compensation amounts must correspond to the percentage of time the employee will devote to the particular child sexual abuse prevention program for which funding is sought from CVTF. The CVTF will not fund or consider as a match holiday pay or other benefits for part-time staff or volunteers.
