Summary
This summary describes a community investment opportunity available through a regional nonprofit focused on improving well-being and economic stability in a bi-state metro area. The funding process targets local nonprofit organizations and public agencies rather than individuals or private businesses, with an emphasis on programs that align with strategic goals to prevent hunger and homelessness, support children’s success, and strengthen families. Applicants typically operate within a defined service area that includes counties on both sides of a state boundary in the Upper Midwest.
The funding cycle is structured around an initial pre-application phase, followed by assignment into investment pathways that guide the type of support each applicant is considered for. One pathway focuses on short-term, essential services that meet immediate needs and stabilize vulnerable populations, such as crisis response, food access, and basic supports. Another pathway emphasizes longer-term investments intended to strengthen systems and create sustainable change, such as housing stability efforts, early childhood education quality, workforce development, and collaborative health projects.
Grants are awarded through a competitive review process in which volunteer panels assess proposals based on community needs, strategic alignment, and potential impact. Participating nonprofits partner with the organization and with each other to deliver services. Alongside major annual investment cycles, rolling sponsorship opportunities are available to support community events that raise awareness, engage residents, and complement broader social goals.
The intent of the funding is to lift families out of poverty by enabling organizations to expand or sustain programs that address critical local challenges. This includes strengthening emergency services and basic needs supports, enhancing educational and developmental opportunities for children, and building stable pathways for family economic success. Grants aim to foster collaborative solutions that bring measurable improvements to community conditions in the region served.
