Diversity, equity, inclusion grant awards come from our Diversity Equity Inclusion Fund (a temporary, non-endowed fund) and our Endowment for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, both of which support equity and inclusion efforts across the region, including primarily providing support for organizations led by Black, Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQ+, immigrant, neurodiverse, and/or disability community members.
Grants from our Community Funds are flexible and responsive, supporting a wide variety of organizations, causes, and programs, including general operating needs.
Our fall grant awards come from a variety of funds that support arts & culture, education, community development, environment, health & human services, sports & recreation, and youth programs & organizations.
Our organization endowment grant awards support a specific organization's mission and programs.
Quick Response Grants offer a rapid, flexible response to community needs. These grants are meant to support unexpected or unforeseeable smaller dollar needs that fall outside of an organization’s regular budget.
Our Youth Endowment grant awards support youth causes and organizations across the region. Our county-based Youth Advisory Councils act as advisors to the Youth Endowment, annually reviewing grant applications and recommending grant awards.
