Funding Amounts
- Grant Size: $500 – $10,000

Eligibility Requirements
Applicants must:
- Be U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations
- Submit a copy of their IRS 501(c)(3) determination letter
- Propose projects that do not discriminate against any group
- Be willing to submit an end-of-project report with photos or deliver a project presentation within one year of the application deadline
What CST Looks for in Applications
When reviewing proposals, CST grant committees consider:
- The number of individuals impacted by the project or materials
- Whether the project will have a lasting impact or require repeated funding
- Whether the project can be completed with CST funds alone or requires additional funding
- The clarity, detail, and completeness of the application
Committees favor clearly defined projects, events, or purchases of specific goods or services over salaries. However, CST recognizes that staff and educators are often essential and reviews personnel-related expenses on a case-by-case basis.
Application Requirements
Applications should include:
- A brief summary explaining why the project is being undertaken
- Identification of who will immediately benefit
- A detailed project proposal
- An itemized project budget
- Optional supporting materials (e.g., confirmation of other secured funding)
Applicants are encouraged to avoid extraneous materials and focus on concise, relevant information.
Timeline & Deadline
📅 Application Deadline: May 1 (annually)
