- Non-Profit Status: Official recognition by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
- Active Leadership: A dedicated and active Board of Directors.
- Financial Integrity: A proven record of sound financial management.
- Proven Capability: A demonstrated ability to successfully carry out and manage the proposed project.
(Please note: SYCF grants are awarded exclusively to organizations. No grants are made directly to individuals.)
