Grant Funding Amount Low: $500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $500
Summary
This grant opportunity is intended to support nonprofit organizations in a particular geographic region by helping cover costs for professional development. It is designed to assist organizations with limited resources in providing training, workshops, or strategic planning sessions—opportunities that might otherwise be difficult to fund.
The primary intent of the funds is to strengthen the capacity of nonprofit staff and board members, enabling them to acquire new skills, refine organizational practices, and plan for sustainable growth. The grants are well suited for activities such as training attendance, leadership development, and collaborative planning initiatives.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations operating within the service area (in this case, the local region surrounding Eau Claire, Wisconsin). The grant is specifically focused on nonprofits; individuals or for-profit businesses are not targeted by this funding stream.
In terms of funding levels, organizations can request modest amounts—up to around $500 per training or development initiative. The grant is meant to act as support or subsidy, rather than full funding for large-scale events. Applicants should propose clear, focused plans showing how the requested amount will directly contribute to building organizational strength.
The application window runs annually, typically starting mid-September and closing by the end of October. Awards are announced for that cycle, and successful applicants may use the funding to carry out the proposed professional development within a specified timeframe.
Overall, this grant offers an accessible way for local nonprofits to invest in their own people and strategic direction. It’s especially helpful for organizations that want to grow their internal capacity but face tight budgets.
Organizations and individuals based in Wisconsin who are engaged in Business & Commerce may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
