Under the Community Affairs program, Apple Corporate Grants awards
computer systems to nonprofit social service and arts groups. Awards
are made in five categories: the arts, the disabled, citizen action,
research and development,and innovation challenge (innovative uses of
computers in the nonprofit sector). Groups are working in such areas as
housing, substance abuse, the needs of the elderly, and refugeeism.
 
Guidelines require, among other things, that groups be classified as
501(c)3 by
the IRS, have full-time paid staff, maintain regular office hours, and
have
annual budgets of less than $500,000.
 
The program emphasizes the awarding of computer systems to networks of
groups
that are working on similar problems. The intention is that networking
via
computer will enable groups to share resoures and information, to
collaborate
on major projects, and to access centralized sources of information.
 
Community Affairs grantees are located throughout the United States. 
The
Cupertino office can provide interested parties with information about
groups
in their geographic area or area of social service.
 
Deadlines for submitting proposals are November 15 and May 29. For
complete
guidelines and application forms, contact Apple Corporate Grants, 20525
Mariani Avenue M/S 5-B, Cupertino, CA 95014, or Link Sterling Speirn
