How to Apply for a Financial Contribution
Hall Financial Group does
not have a formal contribution application form; however, the following
guidelines have been prepared to facilitate the process.
Your funding request must include:
1. A cover letter clearly stating in the first paragraph the amount of the
request and the purpose for which the funds will be used.
2. Name, mailing address, telephone, fax and email address of the contact
person to receive funding request response.
3. Budget specific to the proposed project.
4. Your organization’s:
Mission statement

Directors

Please, DO NOT send catalogues, press clippings, letters of support,
or invitations from past events unless it is relevant to the request.
Completed requests should be sent to:
Community Relations Committee
Hall Financial Group
6801
Gaylord Parkway, Suite 100
Frisco, Texas 75034
Additional Helpful Information for Applicants.
-
The Community Relations Committee meets quarterly in March, June,
September and December to review proposals.
-
For event support and advertising sponsorships, requests must be
received at least four months in advance of the event or advertising deadline
date.
-
Hundreds of requests are reviewed at each meeting and each one is
individually considered for its impact and value to both the community and to
Hall Financial Group. Past support is no guarantee of continued funding.
-
It is understood that each organization will have multiple needs throughout
the course of a year, i.e. membership dues, annual sustenance drives, event
sponsorships, program/operating support, etc. While limits are not set as to the
number of contributions that may be made to one organization, if funds have
already been sent to your organization within the calendar year based on a prior
request, the Committee will evaluate subsequent requests in that context.
Consequently, it is recommended that decisions within your organization be made
regarding which request within the year represents your priority.
