Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support organizations that are working to strengthen communities and expand access to economic opportunity across select regions of the United States. Funding is generally available to projects serving communities in parts of California, Texas, Florida, Nevada, and Hawaii, with an emphasis on areas where long-term community investment can create meaningful impact. The grant is awarded on an annual basis and reflects a commitment to sustained, place-based support rather than one-time assistance.
The funding is primarily intended for nonprofit organizations that provide services benefiting local residents and underserved populations. Eligible activities often include community development initiatives, affordable housing support, workforce development and job training programs, financial education efforts, and social services that promote stability and self-sufficiency. Small businesses and individuals are typically not direct recipients of this funding, although business-focused initiatives may be supported when delivered through an eligible nonprofit organization.
Grant funds may be used to expand existing programs, launch new community-focused initiatives, strengthen organizational capacity, or support projects that address clearly identified local needs. Priority is often given to organizations that demonstrate strong leadership, measurable outcomes, and a clear connection between their work and broader community well-being. Collaborative efforts and partnerships that leverage additional resources or expertise are also viewed favorably.
Grant amounts vary depending on the scope and scale of the proposed project. Awards commonly range from several thousand dollars to larger contributions exceeding $100,000 when funding is part of a broader community investment or partnership initiative. In some years, total funding across all recipients reaches well into six figures, distributed among multiple organizations.
Overall, this grant opportunity seeks to provide flexible financial support that enables nonprofit organizations to build stronger communities, promote economic inclusion, and create lasting positive change in the regions they serve.
