Summary
This grant program is intended to support nonprofit organizations. It welcomes proposals across many impact areas—such as health, human services, the environment, education, the arts, and broader community development. The foundation emphasizes flexibility: it supports nonprofits in responding to current and emerging local needs, and seeks to fund initiatives that align with its strategic priorities and programmatic interests.
There are multiple grant types under this umbrella. One option allows organizations to request funding in the $10,000 to $25,000 range for general operating support or to respond to urgent changes in funding or delivery models. Another option supports smaller or newer nonprofits, allowing grants up to $5,000 or $10,000 depending on organizational budget size.
Eligible applicants are primarily 501(c)(3) public charities (or organizations with a fiscal sponsor that is one), operating in the region served by the foundation. Schools, government agencies or entities may eligible or excluded depending on the specific grant track and must check detailed guidelines.
The funds are intended to support projects or operational adjustments that strengthen nonprofit impact—for example efforts to build organizational capacity, enhance operations, improve program delivery, engage collaborations, or respond to shifting funding conditions. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate clear objectives, measurable outcomes, organizational readiness, and a thoughtful work plan.
In short: if you represent a nonprofit looking to expand or stabilize your mission-driven work in the region covered by this foundation, this grant opportunity may offer meaningful support—especially if your project aligns with one of the foundation’s priorities and you’re ready with a solid plan and budget.
