What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Community Grants

The Community Grants Program provides funding for operational and project needs. Operational grants provide support for the day-to-day costs of running a non-profit organization. These grants provide unrestricted income to help an organization carry out its goals without imposing the requirement to develop activities directly attributable to the grant. A Project grant is given to support a specific set of activities, with a beginning and an end, explicit objectives and a pre-determined cost. Project grant funds are restricted and must be used for the specified project.

Population(s) Served
Adults
Children and youth

Through the Mini-Grant program, funding is provided to support smaller nonprofits, projects that are time-sensitive, first-time applicants, nonprofits less than five years old, school enrichment programs that are not funded through the district budget, and nonprofits not eligible for grants through the Community Grant program.

Population(s) Served
