How to Apply

The first step in the competitive grant application process is a pre-application conversation with a program officer. This interchange of information serves as an opportunity for you to inform the Community Foundation about your organization’s needs, outline your project and ask clarifying questions.

Following your conversation with a program officer, you will submit a grant application through our online portal. We have streamlined the grant application process to reduce paperwork and increase transparency. Through the online portal, nonprofits can complete the grant application, submit supporting materials, check the status of applications, communicate directly with the Community Foundation and submit required grant reports.
