Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $100,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support nonprofit organizations that serve communities in specific U.S. regions — including a county in southern Florida as well as selected states in the Southeast and Midwest. Eligible applicants are tax-exempt nonprofit agencies (not for-profit businesses or individuals) serving those areas.
The foundation looks for projects and organizations working in areas such as education, arts and humanities, environmental protection or stewardship, health and social services, and community-centered work; it also considers faith-based or Christian organizations that deliver broadly beneficial social or community services.
Grants may be used either for ongoing operating support or for defined programs and projects. For example, nonprofits might request funds to support new educational initiatives, arts or culture programs, environmental or conservation efforts, health or social-service work, or community outreach and support services.
Award sizes vary depending on the project’s scope. Past grants have ranged from modest support to more substantial funding, with typical awards falling between roughly $10,000 and $100,000. Organizations can request amounts based on their needs, whether for a small program or a larger multi-faceted project. Proposals are accepted twice each year, with deadlines at the beginning of March and the beginning of September, and award decisions are generally communicated roughly three months afterward.
The foundation encourages proposals that reflect creativity, responsibility, and a mission-driven approach, especially those that promise meaningful impact on individuals and communities. Whether an organization is providing direct services, fostering community development, offering educational or cultural enrichment, promoting equity, or improving environmental outcomes — as long as it meets the eligibility criteria and serves the designated regions — it may be considered.
Overall, this opportunity is best suited for established nonprofit organizations with a clear mission, a track record of community service, and well-defined plans to use funding to expand or sustain programs in education, health, environment, arts, or social services within the permitted geographic areas.
