Community Grants

In 2012 we will distribute through our Community Grant Program approximately 15% of our funds (or nearly $2 million). We respond to grant proposals from nonprofit organizations and coalitions working to improve the quality of life in our region. Community Grant funding opportunities exist within five program areas:

• Arts and Culture
• Education
• Environment
• Health and Human Services
• Nonprofit Facilities Improvement

Note: Community Grants are awarded in two main categories -- for Nonprofit Facilities for capital campaigns and other major improvements and for Seed and Program Funding.
