The Amarillo Area Foundation (AAF) announced on Tuesday a Request for Proposals (RFP) for grant applications on behalf of Consolidated Nuclear Security, LLC, the company responsible for the management and operations of the Pantex Plant.
The Advisory Committee for the CNS Pantex Community Investment Fund, a component fund of the Amarillo Area Foundation, will entertain proposals from nonprofit and charitable institutions throughout the twenty-six northernmost counties in the Texas Panhandle (individuals and non-charitable organizations are not eligible).
Grant amounts will range from $2,500 to $10,000. Organizations who fit the eligibility requirements and whose work is in line with the priorities are encouraged to apply. Only one application per organization will be accepted. Prior recipients with an open CNS Pantex grant will not be eligible.
General operating support is a low priority. The priorities for funding are: Basic Needs (Food, Clothing, and Shelter); Children, Youth, and Family; Community Development; Education; and Health and Wellness.
Priority will be given to proposals from organizations located and operating in one of the twelve contiguous counties surrounding the Pantex Plant with preference given to projects that serve multiple priority counties. These counties are Armstrong, Carson, Deaf Smith, Donley, Gray, Hall, Hutchison, Moore, Oldham, Potter, Randall, and Swisher.
