The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation: 2014-2015 Grant Guidelines
This marks the eighth grant cycle for the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation. The majority of the grants distributed will help K-9 units to purchase dogs and dog safety vests, but other types of needs are also considered.
“I think I speak for all K-9 handlers when I say thank you for your support for Police K-9’s.” — Officer Chris Angus, Nebraska City Police Department, photographed with his partner, Jordy.
The Foundation will be distributing grants in the cities and surrounding communities of each regular season away game for the Steelers during the 2014-15 season.
The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation at The Giving Back Fund has announced the new grant guidelines for the 2014 grant cycle.
The Foundation will be distributing grants in the cities and surrounding communities of each regular season away game for the Steelers during the 2014 NFL season. The Ben Roethlisberger Foundation invites police and fire departments in these eight cities to submit proposals detailing their needs.
Also, for each Steelers’ appearance in a playoff game, a grant will be awarded to a non-NFL market city anywhere in the United States that would not otherwise be eligible to apply. In addition, the Foundation will continue to make grants to several police and fire department K-9 units in the Pittsburgh area following Super Bowl XLIX.
The Foundation distributed $157,600 in grants to K-9 units around the country during the 2013 NFL season and has distributed in excess of $1.2 million since 2007.
Eligible departments must apply to The Giving Back Fund by August 15, 2014.
Late or incomplete applications will not be considered.
You can view the full grant requirements, eligibility and evaluation process, please visit http://www.givingback.org/documents/RFP_2014_BRF_app.pdf.
You can also see the guidelines on Ben’s Foundation page here.
More from Officer Angus and Jordy:
“Whether we’re working during the week, or watching the Steelers on the weekend, we always bleed black and gold!” — Chris Angus
Jordy was purchased in Sharpsville, PA from Shallow Creek Kennels. He started with the Nebraska City Department in 2010 and been a very important tool for us. Besides his normal patrol duties, he is also a “star” in the classroom. They give demonstrations and talks to elementary school children, and Jordy loves the attention!
