Summary

This community-focused grant opportunity supports local initiatives designed to strengthen and improve the quality of life in small towns and surrounding areas within North Dakota. The program is ideal for established nonprofit organizations and community groups that are seeking financial assistance to launch or expand projects that benefit the broader public. Individuals and for-profit businesses are not eligible to apply.


The intent of this funding is to help community programs grow, innovate, and reach those who might not otherwise have access to essential services or enrichment opportunities. Funding can be used for a wide range of purposes, including educational programs, public service projects, arts and cultural events, community improvement efforts, and activities that promote civic engagement or social wellbeing. While each grant cycle varies slightly, the support is typically directed toward programs that demonstrate clear goals, effective leadership, and a meaningful impact within the local area.


Awards are modest yet impactful, with grants generally not exceeding $5,000 per project. This funding allows smaller organizations to take meaningful steps toward new initiatives—such as launching pilot programs, enhancing existing services, or supporting community events that encourage connection and participation. Applicants are expected to demonstrate sound financial management and a realistic plan for sustaining the project beyond the grant period.


Applications are accepted annually, with reviews held twice a year. Funding is limited to projects located primarily within the central region of the state, with a focus on communities within or near Jamestown and nearby rural areas. The opportunity is designed to encourage collaboration and promote projects that deliver long-term benefits for residents. By helping local organizations bring creative, community-centered ideas to life, this grant continues to build a stronger and more vibrant regional network of support and engagement.
