Deadline: Ongoing

Summary
This funding opportunity supports efforts that strengthen community well-being and address pressing social needs across a defined metropolitan region and its surrounding areas. The grants are intended to help organizations deepen their impact in areas such as health and human services, education and youth development, housing and economic stability, workforce readiness, and broader initiatives that promote equity and long-term community resilience.
These resources are generally available to tax-exempt nonprofit organizations that operate within the eligible region and serve local residents. Eligible applicants typically include community-based service providers, advocacy groups, educational institutions, and other charitable organizations with experience in implementing programs or projects that benefit the public. In some cases, collaborations, coalitions, and fiscally sponsored projects may be considered if they demonstrate a clear commitment to community impact. Small businesses and individual entrepreneurs are usually not the primary focus of this opportunity unless embedded within a qualifying nonprofit partnership and aligned with community objectives.
The intent of this funding is to empower grantees to expand or strengthen their programming, invest in capacity building, pilot new approaches, or launch strategic initiatives that produce measurable benefits for the communities they serve. Examples of supported uses may include expanding direct service delivery, enhancing workforce development activities, improving access to critical services for underserved populations, or designing innovative models that address systemic barriers to opportunity. Funding may also be used for planning, evaluation, and other strategic activities that help organizations scale proven practices.
Award sizes vary depending on the scope of the project and the specific funding round, with opportunities for both modest project support and larger multi-year investments. Funding cycles typically occur periodically throughout the year, with deadlines announced in advance for each round. Organizations interested in applying should review the criteria for the current cycle to determine alignment with their mission, readiness for implementation, and fit with the priority areas emphasized in the opportunity.
