Summary
This grant opportunity is offered to nonprofits and community-oriented institutions. The funding is open primarily to organizations with 501(c)(3) status, or eligible government or educational institutions, rather than individuals—though there may be separate scholarship opportunities for individuals in special cases. The grants are meant to support community-focused projects, such as programs that enhance social services, improve health and wellness, provide educational opportunities, boost community development, and foster long-term community stability.
Runs two regular grant cycles each year (typically spring and fall), and additionally offers a special fund cycle aimed at supporting programs for women and children. Rather than covering everyday operating costs, grants are designed for specific, one-time purposes: for example, purchasing new equipment, funding a particular community initiative, or supporting a defined project. What the foundation generally avoids funding are ongoing operating budgets, salary costs, routine software or computer systems, or programs that are part of a regular school curriculum; the intent is to provide catalytic funding for initiatives that might otherwise struggle to find support.
As an illustration, in a recent grant cycle the foundation awarded a total of about $13,450 across multiple local organizations and programs—examples included funding for children’s comfort items at a hospital, summer meals for children, support for a transition shelter for survivors of domestic violence, and a summer day camp for girls. Over time, the foundation has also dispersed substantial amounts in grants and scholarships, invested in community infrastructure, and supported a broad spectrum of nonprofit and public-service organizations.
In short, this grant opportunity is best suited for nonprofits or public-service institutions within the local region who wish to launch or expand community-oriented projects — especially those with a clear, one-time objective that benefits women, children, families, or community welfare broadly.
