Submission Guidelines

When submitting an application, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

  • The focus of the Baughman Family Foundation is on supporting local charities where the Foundation can make a direct, tangible impact on causes that matter to our family.
  • When filling out the application, please be as descriptive as possible. Applications should include a brief summary and estimated quantities and timing to demonstrate how and when the requested funds will be used. Applications that request funding for general operational expenses will not be approved.
  • The suggested size of the grant request should be in the $1,000 - $3,000 range. In no case do we anticipate contributing more than $3,500 in a single grant.
  • Do not submit applications that are of a political or religious nature.
  • Do not submit applications for organizations where a family member has a conflict of interest or receives a direct benefit.
  • Our foundation only accepts applications that are sponsored by a family member. Unsolicited applications will not be reviewed or funded. When filling out your application, please make sure to include the name of the family member that is sponsoring your application.
