Information for Small Grants

The Foundation makes three types of small grants in the range of $500 to $20,000.

Planning Grants are awarded to organizations interested in working with others to find a shared vision and develop a project that makes this vision come true. The funds can be used to support travel, office and meeting expenses, planning consultants and other costs related to outreach.

Capacity Grants provide resources for leaders, workers and volunteers to enhance their education and skills in non-profit organizational development. This might include workshops on management training, budgeting, strategic planning, financial reporting, marketing services and products, human resources, technology training, communications, volunteer management, etc. The outcome of these resources is to enhance the functioning of the non-profit organization so it can more efficiently serve the public.

Project-Specific Grants are awarded for smaller projects/programs that fit the four areas of focus – cultural preservation, economic development, creation of employment opportunities and environmental preservation – and engage the local community (both adults and youth) in identifying a local issue and finding ways to address the issue.
