Deadline: Ongoing

Summary
Grant funding is currently available to support community-based efforts in select rural and small-town areas within the central United States. These opportunities are intended to assist groups or organizations working on initiatives that contribute to the overall well-being of local residents. While the focus varies slightly depending on the funding cycle, there is consistent interest in projects that strengthen communities through education, local development, environmental care, or public resources.
Funding is generally open to a range of community-serving entities. This may include nonprofits, educational programs, and other locally active groups. In some cases, other types of applicants may also be considered, depending on how closely their work aligns with the broader goals of the program. While the opportunity is not typically directed toward individuals or for-profit businesses, there may be some flexibility when the work has a clear public benefit.
The available funding typically falls within a modest range—often from several hundred to a few thousand dollars—making it a strong option for small to mid-sized initiatives that have the potential to make a meaningful local impact. Funding rounds are offered more than once a year, and proposals are reviewed on a regular basis.
The intent behind these grants is to support efforts that are practical, thoughtful, and tailored to the needs of the local area. Ideal projects are those that offer something of long-term value to the community—whether that’s support for learning, care for the environment, safety, or community engagement.
This funding opportunity is designed for those already doing good work in their region and looking for a boost to help take that work further. If your efforts aim to improve quality of life and connect people with meaningful resources, this grant could offer the support needed to grow your impact.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Indiana that are actively involved in Community Development & Services. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
