Summary
A regional community foundation offers multiple grant programs designed to strengthen neighborhoods and support nonprofit-led innovation across northwest Ohio and southeastern Michigan. One core opportunity is a Community Impact Grant, which invites proposals for transformative projects that respond to unmet needs or scale successful interventions. Requests in the range of $50,000 or more are eligible for consideration. To qualify, lead organizations generally must have a sustained track record, sufficient infrastructure, and a meaningful operating budget; collaborative models may also be accepted when partners together meet financial thresholds.
Another available funding stream is the Community Builder Grant, aimed at capacity-building, new program development, or expansion of existing services. Award amounts in that category may reach up to $25,000. The foundation tends to prioritize initiatives that strengthen organizational effectiveness, address gaps in community services, and foster long-term resiliency.
Additionally, there are specialized grant streams such as those targeting capital improvements, environmental engagement, and clean energy access. For example, one fund supports projects related to sustainable education, underserved water access, or renewable technology development. Capital improvement grants may be considered in partnership with matching contributions and multiple funders.
Across these programs, eligible applicants are primarily tax-exempt nonprofit organizations, particularly those with service history in the region. The foundation’s geographic focus spans communities in Toledo and surrounding counties, including parts of southeast Michigan. Funding is intended for programmatic costs, capacity support, capital needs (in certain programs), collaboration efforts, evaluation, and expansion of services. The broader purpose of the grant offerings is to catalyze vibrant, equitable communities by investing in health, arts, education, neighborhoods, and sustainable infrastructure.
