What to Expect After Applying

In most cases, please submit your request at least 30 days before funding is needed, unless otherwise noted for a specific program. We aim to review requests and respond as quickly as possible, but expect around 7 days turnaround. Funding may be approved in full, in part, or not at all, depending on eligibility, available funds, and the nature of your request. The more detail you provide about your project, budget, and anticipated neighborhood impact, the better equipped we'll be to make a decision!

Before You Spend

Please contact the CNA Treasurer to confirm funding availability before making any purchases or committing to expenses.

Each program has a fixed annual allocation for the CNA fiscal year, which runs May 1 through April 30.

Funds are available on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to program eligibility and any required approvals.

Because budgets are limited, funding is not guaranteed simply because a project qualifies.

Reimbursements & Payments

Most Giving Program funding is provided through reimbursement.

Unless otherwise specified in the individual program guidelines:

• Applicants are responsible for paying their vendors, artists, or other project expenses directly.
• Reimbursements are issued to the approved applicant, not the vendor.
• Itemized paid receipts or invoices with proof of payment are required.
• Documentation must be submitted within 30 days of project completion.
• Reimbursements are limited to the approved amount and applicable program maximum.

Please allow time for the CNA's volunteer board and Treasurer to review documentation and process reimbursement checks.

Some programs, such as East + South Coronado Programming, may allow alternative payment arrangements with prior CNA approval.

Sharing Your Impact

Good ideas deserve to be shared.

The Giving Program is supported by CNA fundraising efforts, neighborhood events, and the generosity of our community.

When the CNA helps fund a project, we want neighbors to see what that investment made possible!

Funding recipients are expected to provide reasonable documentation of their completed projects, which may include:

• Photographs: Images showing the completed project or activity. Before-and-after photos are especially appreciated.
• A brief summary: A few sentences describing what was accomplished and how CNA funding helped.
• Community impact: An explanation of how the project benefits neighbors or improves Greater Coronado.
• A testimonial: A short quote about the project, the experience, or its impact on the neighborhood.

Documentation requirements will be proportionate to the size and nature of the project.

The CNA may also invite recipients to share their stories through Dispatch magazine, our website, newsletters, or social media.

By accepting funding, recipients agree to provide appropriate project documentation and permit the CNA to share submitted project materials for which the recipient has obtained necessary publicationpermissions. Applicants submitting photographs or testimonials for CNA publication must confirm they have the necessary permissions to share those materials. Participation in additional interviews or features may be requested but is not required.

Your good idea might inspire someone else's!
