Grant Making

The Vision of Hope Fund Request for Proposals provides sufficient information to enable applicants to prepare and submit proposals for funding consideration by the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Rape's Vision of Hope Fund.

PCAR launched the fund in July 2005 as a campaign to raise funds to promote critical research, effective prevention strategies, adult responsibility and accountability, and crisis response to sexually victimized children.

In the attached PDF file you will find the 2012-2013 Open Call for Letters of Inquiry for the Vision of Hope Fund. Letters submitted by Nov. 1 will be reviewed members of the Vision of Hope Research/Best Practices Committee and PCAR/NSVRC staff. A limited number of applicants will be invited to submit full grant proposals by Nov. 30 with the deadline for the proposals Jan. 5, 2012.

Eligible applicants include public agencies (including state agencies, units of local government, public universities and colleges) and private organizations (including faith- and community-based organizations) conducting grant activities, including 501(c)(3), LEA (local education agencies), individual researchers or research organizations.

Applicants must provide documentation of 501(c)(3) determination, and be registered with the Pennsylvania Bureau of Charitable Organizations or able to provide a description of the reason they are exempt from BCO registration.
