Grantmaking

Field of Interest funds make grants through a grant application process.

Advisory committees to each fund review the applications and recommend the grants to be awarded by the board of directors of the Community Foundation.

Grant applications are typically accepted twice a year, during a spring grant cycle and during a fall grant cycle.

Spring Grant Cycle

• February 1 - April 15
• Primarily scholarship and school or education related funds

Fall Grant Cycle

• August 15 - November 1
• Primarily grants to benefit human services and some environmental funds
• Applications for grants recommended by our Youth Advisory Councils (YAC) from our Youth Services Endowment Fund are available during this cycle

Please note that each grant cycle features several different Funds that accept applications. The deadline dates of these Funds will vary, but will usually fall on or before the Grant Cycle end-date. We recommend visiting this page near the beginning of each Grant Cycle to see what is available and to take note of the individual deadline dates.

Funds that are currently seeking applications are listed below. Use the links for more information about grant requirments and proposal deadlines. Available scholarship grants can be found in the Scholarship Center.
