Summary
Grant opportunity designed to uplift organizations that strengthen local communities. These grants typically support project-based initiatives that foster long-term impact, build community assets, and reduce recurring needs. Applicants are encouraged to emphasize collaboration and financial sustainability in their proposals.
There are two main grant cycles each year, opening around early February and early August. Additionally, a mini-grant cycle specifically for youth-led projects takes place in the fall, with its deadline in November. This tiered approach allows applicants to choose the right timing based on the nature and scale of their work.
Funding sources are varied, including flexible general-purpose funds and more targeted endowments. Through these, the foundation can respond to changing community needs while leveraging donor intent. Eligible applicants are local nonprofit organizations—government or civic groups may also be considered under certain conditions. Business or individual applicants are typically not eligible.
Grants have funded a wide variety of local initiatives—from improving accessibility and launching community programs to enhancing organizational capacity. Past examples include support for renovations, strategic planning, and program expansion. While dollars vary by fund, grants have ranged from a few thousand to over twenty thousand dollars, depending on the need and available resources.
Review committees composed of community representatives evaluate applications based on impact potential, alignment with local priorities, and long-term sustainability. Proposals that illustrate community cooperation, address persistent needs proactively, and bring measurable improvements stand out in the process.
This opportunity offers local nonprofits the ability to advance meaningful work in education, health, environmental care, cultural enrichment, and more. For organizations ready to shape the future of their region—especially those led by or serving youth—this is a great resource to consider.
