Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
There is a flexible funding opportunity available to charitable and nonprofit organizations working within a defined county region. This support includes competitive grants drawn from an unrestricted or flexibly designated fund, enabling the financier to respond to evolving community needs. Award amounts vary from modest sums for smaller community enhancements to significantly larger grants, cumulatively reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars per grant cycle. One recent total distribution exceeded four hundred thousand dollars, demonstrating both breadth and impact.
The intent of this funding is to bolster initiatives that enrich quality of life across sectors such as education, the arts, parks and recreation, healthcare, civic engagement, youth development, and community betterment. The program particularly favors projects that demonstrate innovation, efficiency, coordinated efforts, prevention-oriented approaches, and that leverage additional resources through matching. Grant proposals are expected to support specific programming rather than general operational budgets, with occasional consideration for emergent or urgent needs. Repeat grants are subject to a twelve-month interval unless exceptional circumstances are granted relief.
Applications are open only to tax-exempt nonprofit organizations serving the local community and may not be submitted by individuals unless routed through sponsoring institutions for purposes like scholarships or special programs. Geographic eligibility is limited to groups active within the specified county. Review and funding decisions are made quarterly, with multiple submission deadlines throughout the year and timely notification following board consideration. In addition to the flexible grants, additional support mechanisms include youth-managed mini-grants and donor-established funds with specified thematic purposes, such as education, scholarships, or field-specific causes.
These various avenues provide a range of funding opportunities tailored to different community needs and organizational capacities, all aimed at achieving tangible local improvements and fostering sustained impact within the county.
Organizations and individuals based in Indiana who are engaged in Arts, Culture, History & Humanities 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.
