Selby Foundation SAM Grants Q2 Cycle Opens April 1

By  | 

March 21, 2022 – Sarasota

The William G. and Marie Selby Foundation Q2 Small and Mighty (SAM)
Grants Cycle opens April 1 and will close at 3:59 p.m. on May 1. The Grant Portal will be
open until that time for area not-for-profit organizations to create an account and access existing
accounts as they begin the application process. The Selby Foundation will notify grant recipients
of awards by June 30.


This program was developed to meet the needs of small-scale, non-profit organizations within
our community (Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee, and Sarasota counties), and be responsive and
reactive to those needs.


To qualify for this program, organizations must have been in operation for more than a year and
have less than $300,000 in annual operating expenses. Additionally, the request must be for a
capital expenditure(s).


The Foundation specializes in supporting local area not-for-profits with capital grants which
support construction, acquisition and/or renovation of facilities as well as the purchase of
equipment or software. Grants requests may also include the costs of related technical services
like legal, architectural and engineering. Not-for-profit organizations are required to be primarily
located in Charlotte, DeSoto, Manatee or Sarasota Counties.


The Selby Foundation is a private foundation founded by William G. and Marie Selby in 1955.
The Foundation supports Sarasota, Manatee, Charlotte and DeSoto counties through capital
grants and scholarships. Since its establishment, the Selby Foundation has provided more than
$120 million to the community. For more information on the Foundation’s grant and scholarship
application process, including the newly established Small and Mighty Grants program, visit
