Grant Opportunities

We are proud to offer multiple grant opportunities for our local non-profits.

Small Grants

Each year, we offer small grants to area nonprofits that address our main focus areas: Arts & Culture, Education and Community Care

We are re-imagining and growing our signature grant program, and work is underway to develop a set of capacity building programs and services to support our nonprofit community. More information coming soon!
