The Community Partnership Initiative
(CPI) was launched 11 years ago by Rohm and
Haas, now a wholly owned subsidiary of The
Dow Chemical Company. Today,
CPI grants of $30,000 are annually awarded
in seven communities in the
United States, including Newark.
The CPI program is managed
by the Newark Site Community Advisory Council
(CAC). The
CAC is an open forum for community representatives
and the local facility to discuss
the goals, activities and concerns of both
the local plant and the surrounding community.
The CAC is responsible
for identifying a focus for the grant,
requesting proposals, evaluating grant
applications, and ultimately awarding the
grant to the winning non-profit organization.
To determine the focus for CPI in our community,
the CAC recently polled community leaders
to identify the most pressing local need. The
response from local leaders was clear:
education and recreation programs for youth.
 The
target community for the CPI grant is greater
Newark and the area bordered by the Delaware
state line on the north and west; DE Route
7 on the east; and ½ mile south of
US Route 40 on the south. (Please
see map to confirm eligibility)
In awarding the grant, consideration
is given to programs requiring a grant of
$30,000. However, if a viable proposal for
$30,000 does not emerge, proposals for grants
between $5,000-$25,000 will be considered.
Organizations may use the grant in a single
year or over multiple years.
