The Community Foundation

Discretionary Grant

 

*DEADLINE -- AUGUST 3, 2009*

 

This year grantmaking will focus on supporting nonprofit organizations as they work to achieve their core mission and/or to sustain and improve the delivery of services in a challenging economic environment. Less emphasis will be placed on funding new programs. Rather an emphasis will be placed on preservation and protecting core services fundamental to an organization’s mission and the community.

 

The Foundation has identified several broad categories in which needs exist and for which grant requests are encouraged:

- Animal Welfare

- Arts and Humanities

- Civic Affairs and Community Planning

- Conservation and Environment

- Education

- Employment and Training

- Health

- Historic Preservation

- Housing and Community Development

- Human Services for citizens of all ages
