Summary
This grant opportunity supports charitable, nonprofit organizations working in three major areas: community development, education / youth, and faith-based leadership. It is centered on improving quality of life in a particular U.S. state—especially in its capital region—but also provides national support in select cases. The goal is to encourage programs that strengthen neighborhoods, build human capacity, and deepen civic and spiritual engagement.
Nonprofits based in that state can apply for funds to run community-building projects, such as social service programs, neighborhood revitalization, housing for low- and moderate-income residents, or local arts and culture initiatives. These grants are intended to create real, sustainable improvements in the lives of underserved people, especially those facing economic or social hardship.
There is also a strong education and youth-development focus. Eligible organizations can propose initiatives that support early childhood education, enhance K–12 schooling, or help young adults transition into meaningful careers. In addition, the funder supports higher education in targeted ways—particularly for institutions serving underrepresented racial and ethnic groups—and occasionally provides national grants to colleges via invitation.
On the faith side, the opportunity supports Christian organizations and leaders across the country. It encourages projects that deepen the spiritual lives of congregations, nurture pastoral or lay leadership, and help young people explore their vocational calling. The grants favor programs that reflect theological depth, strong community engagement, and meaningful public witness. There is also interest in strengthening theological training institutions.
This funder does not generally provide awards directly to individuals or small businesses, nor does it support loans or debt relief. It also avoids certain kinds of projects—like general mass-media efforts or purely capital campaigns—unless they align with a focused initiative.
To apply, nonprofits begin by sending a brief, two-page letter explaining who they are, what they want to do, and how much funding they need. The review process is structured and thoughtful, with decisions made multiple times per year. Organizations that are selected may receive one-time or longer-term funding based on the nature of their project.
