Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $100,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is offered by a longstanding charitable organization headquartered in the Midwest and is designed to strengthen community organizations that focus on youth empowerment and social equity. The program awards capacity-building funds to qualifying nonprofit entities that hold federal tax-exempt status under section 501(c)(3) and are based within a single U.S. state. Typical awards provide up to five figures in support, with most allocations falling in the lower end of that range, to enable organizations to expand or enhance programs addressing education, health, safety and justice for young people.
Applicants must submit an initial expression of interest through an online form by quarterly deadlines in September, December, March and June. After reviewing submissions, the grantor invites selected applicants to complete a full proposal, which is due at the end of the month following each interest deadline. Early submission is encouraged because of the high volume of requests. Final funding decisions rest with a board of directors, and there is no guarantee of an award. Organizations that are not selected may reapply in subsequent cycles.
Proposals should demonstrate a clear alignment with the grantor’s mission and illustrate measurable impact on youth and communities. Collaboration is highly valued; applicants with a history of working alongside other nonprofits, government agencies and community stakeholders are particularly encouraged to apply. Funds are intended for programmatic and capacity-building purposes and are not available for general operating costs, administrative support, capital campaigns, annual giving, endowments, infrastructure improvements, event sponsorships or advertising.
This opportunity is not open to individuals or for‑profit businesses. It is specifically targeted at mission‑driven organizations within the eligible state seeking to deepen their impact in the fields of education, health and community justice. The program’s structured review process and focus on collaboration underscore its commitment to thoughtful, strategic philanthropy aimed at empowering young people.
Organizations and individuals based in Indiana who are engaged in Community Development & Services may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
