Summary

This grant opportunity supports nonprofit organizations. The funding is meant to respond to unmet needs and to support unique program opportunities tied to essential or emerging community issues. Grants typically offer up to around $10,000 for many projects — especially for capacity-building or smaller community efforts.


Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations (IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) entities, or public/governmental agencies — not individuals). The funds are intended for specific purposes such as strengthening organizational capacity — for example through strategic planning, governance or board training, technology or equipment upgrades, consulting or facilitation, mergers of programs, or other efforts that improve an organization’s effectiveness and sustainability. The grant can also support new or pilot programs aimed at meeting community needs or addressing gaps.


There is also a “discretionary” grant option that offers more flexibility — this track can support larger or more ambitious ideas. Those awards may exceed the typical cap and, depending on scope, can be multi-year. Because this is a flexible funding stream, it is often used to address shifting or urgent community needs, support bold or innovative proposals, or to help leverage additional funding from other sources.


The broader interest behind the grant program is community wellbeing: building stronger local nonprofits, improving services for underserved people, enabling innovation, and supporting collaboration among organizations to meet local challenges. Nonprofits that serve broad segments of the community, that help underserved populations, or that bring efficiency or sustainability to their operations are particularly encouraged to apply.
