Summary
This grant provides targeted funding—typically up to around $5,000 per award—to support community-driven projects. The grant supports nonprofit organizations, local public agencies like schools and parks, faith-based groups benefiting beyond their congregation, and fiscally sponsored community collaborations.
Funding may support a variety of uses, including program expansion, one-time initiatives to meet specific community needs, operational capacity, and capital improvements like facility upgrades or development. Preference is often given to initiatives that demonstrate measurable impact, readiness to execute, strong local leadership, and support from community stakeholders .
Application cycles typically follow a summer timeline: invitations are announced in early summer, deadlines fall in late summer, and funding decisions are made in early autumn (platform.grantexec.com). Award sizes usually range from a few thousand dollars up to around $5,000, with the total fund pool varying year to year but often modest—enough to make meaningful differences in local programming .
Eligible recipients must be registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits, government-affiliated public entities, or community groups with fiscal sponsorship. Each organization may typically submit only one proposal unless also sponsoring another group.
Projects focused on community services—such as youth programming, arts and culture, health, education, environmental stewardship, or senior services—are strong fits, especially when they address a locally identified need and have sustainable plans.
