Summary


This grant opportunity is created to support nonprofit organizations doing charitable work within a specific county (in this case, within DeKalb County, Indiana). The funding is intended to help those nonprofits carry out programs in areas such as arts & culture, community development, education, environment, health, human services, literacy, or youth development. Funds may be used for project support, general operating expenses, or capacity building to help organizations grow stronger and better serve their communities. Applicants must be nonprofit organizations (typically 501(c)(3) status) with programs targeting residents of the county; individuals and national organizations (unless their project benefits the local area) are generally not eligible.


Grants are awarded in multiple rounds (for example quarterly), and decisions are made about 60 days after each deadline. Award amounts are often modest (requests over a certain threshold may be discouraged or require prior consultation). Preference is given to proposals that reach underserved populations, foster collaboration, avoid duplication with existing services, and enhance an organization’s effectiveness or sustainability. Projects that are reactive, focused on travel, debt reduction, or capital campaigns may be lower priority or ineligible.


Recipients are expected to produce real outcomes—such as public events, educational programming, or community engagement—and to report on impacts at the end of the grant cycle. The hope is that these grants will help local nonprofits better respond to pressing needs, strengthen infrastructure, and build capacity to serve their communities more effectively now and into the future.


Eligible applicants in Indiana with a demonstrated commitment to Youth/Out-of-School Youth are encouraged to consider this funding opportunity. To identify additional grants aligned with your needs, visit The Grant Portal and utilize the Search Grant tool for tailored results.
