The Board of Directors of the Community Foundation allocates support for a wide range of community issues through the Community Grants Program. Grants are awarded to meet community needs and opportunities in the arts and humanities, education, housing, building capacity of nonprofits, and building social capital (projects that help build and sustain connections among people and groups); local nonprofit organizations may also apply for grants to help strengthen their organizational capacity in various aspects of nonprofit management. Grants will vary in size, duration, and frequency, and are determined based on the merit of the program and its potential impact. Grants usually range in size from a few hundred dollars up to $10,000; larger grants may be considered in rare occasions. Most grants are for single-year programs.
