Summary

This funding opportunity supports communities in rural regions and is designed to help improve essential local services that people rely on every day. It is available throughout many parts of the United States, particularly in smaller towns and areas with limited resources. The program is open to nonprofits, public-serving organizations, local community groups, and certain governmental bodies. Individuals and for-profit businesses are typically not the focus of this opportunity, as the funding is intended to strengthen shared community access to important facilities.


The funds may be used for a wide range of community-oriented improvements, including constructing or updating buildings that support health services, education, public safety, and community activities. Projects might include things like improving a local clinic, updating a school facility, renovating a community center, or obtaining essential equipment needed to provide public services. The goal is to help communities create safer, healthier, and more supportive environments for residents.


Grant amounts vary based on community size and financial need. In many cases, support may cover up to seventy-five percent of eligible project costs, with some communities receiving lesser amounts such as fifty-five, thirty-five, or fifteen percent depending on their circumstances. Some projects may combine this support with low-interest financing options to make larger improvements possible.


This opportunity is available each year and accepts proposals on an ongoing basis. Communities that qualify are generally those with smaller populations and limited access to commercial funding options. The program is particularly interested in proposals that demonstrate clear community benefit, strong local support, and long-term sustainability. It provides a valuable pathway for rural areas to improve essential services that contribute to overall well-being and local development.
