IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:

  • Don’t forget to include any necessary shipping and handling costs
  • Covenant Cares will only pay for what is included on the quote and awarded.
  • Internet quotes cannot be accepted…. (this has to be a valid quote from a Covenant vendor – we will not accept internet quotes).
  • Internet companies are not valid vendors!
  • We cannot accept applications if the quote is not from a Valid Covenant Vendor
  • If you have received funding for equipment in the past and you have not submitted your End of Project Report you cannot apply for new funding until that is turned in.
    (Please pay close attention to rules on vendor quotes in the “How” section)
  • Corporate Policy Change:
    “Corporate policy has recently changed around use of funds for furniture and renovations. This change states that any renovation or furniture request under $100,000 must be operationalized and cannot be paid for from capital dollars. This puts an enormous strain on operational dollars as well as Covenant Cares funds; therefore we are proposing a potential solution. If you need renovation to your area, or furniture for your area I would request those items are sent to me, so that I can bundle as many as possible to see if I can make multiple projects hit the $100,000 minimum requirement and therefore use Covenant Cares funds for patient needs and to make sure we hit our operational budgets
