Summary

This funding opportunity is designed to support nonprofit organizations working to strengthen community environments, particularly within and around the greater Cleveland region and select other areas of interest. Individuals and for‑profit businesses are not eligible; only 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations may apply. The aim of the grant is to help programs that advance healthy, livable communities through initiatives in environmental education, community and environmental health, sustainable urban development, outdoor education, and smart‑growth or conservation work.


The funds may be used for program support, operating expenses, internships or camperships, community research, or even capital campaign efforts — as long as the initiative aligns with the funder’s focus on community impact and environmental/sustainability outcomes. Applicants are encouraged to describe how their project will contribute to both social and ecological vitality, and how the investment will make a difference in the lived quality of the community served.


While the specific award amounts vary by year and by project, recent grants have ranged from modest to several tens of thousands of dollars, reflecting both smaller-scale programs and larger initiatives led by established organizations. The grant cycles run twice a year, typically with deadlines in early spring and again in early fall, allowing nonprofits to plan ahead for applications accordingly.


To apply, eligible organizations submit a brief introduction or letter of intent; if the project aligns with the funder’s mission, the next step may include a site visit and an invitation to submit a full proposal. Multiyear grants are possible but are generally followed by a pause in funding for subsequent years for that organization. Overall, this opportunity is well‑suited for nonprofits that have a clear mission, credible track record, defined outcomes, and a strong connection to environmental or community health work in the designated region.
