Summary

This grant program is available to nonprofit organizations and educational institutions. The primary focus of the funding is to strengthen local community services, enhance education, support basic needs, and promote cultural development. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits that serve the designated counties or K-12 teachers in those counties seeking classroom support.


There are several types of grant funding. One specific program provides small “mini-grants” for K-12 teachers to bring creative curriculum enhancements into their classrooms, with award amounts typically between $500 and $1,500, though under some circumstances higher amounts may be considered. Another stream supports nonprofit organizations with broader community-based programming. Grant awards to nonprofits vary and can range in the low thousands of dollars, depending on project scope. For example, one recipient recently received a $4,000 grant for food-pantry operations.


Funds can be used for direct program support, educational materials, equipment linked to a classroom project, outreach activities to help individuals or families in need, cultural or arts initiatives, and other community-enhancing services. However, there are restrictions: some types of projects (such as major facility renovation or programs outside the region) may be excluded. Applicants must demonstrate how the project aligns with the foundation’s priorities in education, basic needs, self-sufficiency, and community culture; show a clear plan including budget and measurable outcomes.


Application deadlines and timelines vary by grant type. The review process involves a committee of community volunteers and staff, and decisions are typically communicated roughly 60 days after the deadline.


 If you are a nonprofit or a teacher with a well-defined project that aligns with these focus areas, this opportunity could offer meaningful support for your work.
