Summary
A regional grant opportunity for organizations and initiatives working to make a positive impact in select communities. This funding is primarily focused on projects within one Midwestern state, with an emphasis on urban and surrounding local areas. The grants are designed to support programs that align with community wellbeing, education, environmental responsibility, and cultural enrichment.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations that are tax-exempt and public-serving. While businesses and individuals are not eligible, partnerships with nonprofits may be considered if they align with the broader mission of social or environmental benefit. This grant opportunity is not available nationwide and prioritizes efforts that demonstrate direct impact in specific local regions, especially those with a history of community collaboration and long-term planning.
Funding is flexible, and there is no set minimum or maximum award amount. In past cycles, grants have ranged from modest five-figure support to six-figure commitments, depending on the project scope and organizational need. Funding can be used for a variety of purposes, including operating costs, programming, collaborative initiatives, educational efforts, and even capital projects—though proposals related to buildings or infrastructure may be subject to certain environmental standards.
Grants are awarded on a biannual cycle, with opportunities to apply in both the first and second halves of the year. Decisions are typically communicated within a few months after each application window closes. This funding is especially well-suited for organizations that can clearly demonstrate measurable outcomes, a commitment to inclusion, and a strategic plan for sustainability. Overall, this opportunity offers meaningful support to nonprofits striving to strengthen their communities through education, the arts, environmental leadership, or holistic health and wellbeing.
