Summary
This grant opportunity offers flexible funding support to nonprofit organizations and local government agencies working to strengthen communities through education, the arts, environmental initiatives, and human services. The program is particularly focused on helping underserved or underrepresented populations and encourages creative, community-centered approaches to solving local challenges.
Funding is available through a regional grant cycle for select counties located in a few U.S. states, including areas in the Northeast, Midwest, West Coast, and South. Eligible applicants must be based in and directly serve one of these designated counties. A separate funding track is available for nonprofit organizations operating within one Midwestern state, offering broader support across multiple issue areas.
Grants are awarded to support a wide range of programmatic and project-based activities. These may include educational outreach, youth development, environmental stewardship, community arts engagement, or direct service delivery.
Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate both the impact of their work and the specific needs of the communities they serve.
Funding amounts vary depending on the program. Regional grants typically fall within a modest range to help smaller organizations grow capacity or launch new initiatives. Grants are awarded once per year, and organizations may reapply in future cycles as priorities evolve.
The grant process is competitive and includes an open application period during the summer months, with final decisions announced later in the year. Organizations are expected to report on the use of funds and outcomes achieved, reinforcing the foundation’s focus on accountability and measurable community benefit.
This opportunity is ideal for mission-driven nonprofits and civic organizations looking to make a meaningful difference in their local communities with focused, responsive support.
