We are currently inviting eligible nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and municipalities to apply to their Spring 2025 grant cycle. Interested applicants should begin with an email inquiry to [email protected].
The Community Foundation’s grants team, Sarah Ford and Jake Myers, will contact prospective applicants to learn more about their proposed projects and answer questions about the foundation’s grantmaking process. Eligible organizations will then be invited to submit a grant application.
The Community Foundation encourages interested organizations to reach out as early as possible. Inquiries will be accepted January 20, 2025, through February 24, 2024. Inquiries after February 24 will be asked to wait until the fall grant cycle to apply. Spring grant applications are due March 3, 2025, at 11:59 PM EDT.
Application review will take place following the grant deadline and will engage advisory committees made up of community members. Youth- and family-focused applications will be reviewed by the foundation’s Youth Advisory Committee (YAC), made up of 27 area teens. The YAC will prioritize proposals that address issues identified in the Youth Needs Assessment, with the highest priority on youth mental health. Applicants will be notified of funding decisions by late April 2025.
