Grant Eligibility

These are the list of requirements to receive funding from TDECU.

To receive funding for any type of grant, organizations must:

  • Have tax exempt status under IRS code 501(c)(3), or be a qualified governmental agency, tribal entity or public school or school system.
  • Be located in one or more of the geographic markets where TDECU has a presence.
  • Demonstrate fiscal and administrative stability.
  • Deliver services addressing critical community needs that align with our strategic focus areas.

Grant proposals are also evaluated based on the following considerations:

  • Ability to measure and report on established outcomes-based success metrics aligned to strategic objectives. This includes providing a forecast of expected outcomes in the application and will require an end of year stewardship report with project/program results.

  • Incorporate volunteerism opportunities.

 

TDECU will not consider grants for:

  • Individuals.

  • Organizations that discriminate, including but not limited to, on the basis of race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, country of origin, citizenship, veteran, or disability status.

  • Religious organizations, unless they are engaged in programs that are non-sectarian, benefit a broad base of the community, and have a separate 501(c)(3) designation.

  • Political action committees, candidates, causes, and lobbying.

  • Labor, alumni, or fraternal groups.

  • Recreation, athletic, or sports teams, programs, or leagues.

  • For-profit entities, including start-up small businesses.

Please note: TDECU does not seek and rarely funds unsolicited grant applications and project proposals. TDECU typically chooses to work with community organizations with which we have established or proactively developed relationships with.
