Summary
This grant opportunity is designed to support community-oriented projects across specific regions, typically in small towns or rural areas within certain states. It aims to help local groups and initiatives that enhance quality of life by funding efforts in areas such as education, culture, arts, recreation, environment, charitable services, and community development. The intention of the funding is to encourage creative and beneficial work that directly serves the needs of a community and its residents.
Funding is usually available twice a year, with deadlines set in the spring and fall, and decisions made shortly after.

These funds are generally targeted toward nonprofit organizations, community groups, and programs that operate in defined local service areas. In some cases, groups without formal nonprofit status can participate by working with a fiscal sponsor that holds nonprofit status. The focus is not typically on profit-making businesses or individual applicants; instead, it’s aimed at collective community benefit. Projects might include things like improving public spaces, expanding educational outreach, supporting youth or senior programs, or enhancing cultural activities.
Grant amounts vary based on the scope and impact of the proposed project, with total funding distributed across multiple recipients per cycle. While the exact dollar amounts aren’t fixed, awards are often tailored to fit the scale of each initiative. Overall, this type of grant supports grassroots efforts that strengthen community bonds, encourage volunteer engagement, and foster positive local change.
