Apply for Grants

While the bulk of Community Foundation grants and charitable contributions are designated by our donors, we also provide grants to nonprofits through local Affiliate-based Giving Tree grant cycles and certain statewide grant programs with a targeted focus. 

Giving Tree Grants

Giving Tree Endowments at the local and state level make annual grants through a competitive process to support a variety of causes, based on changing community needs. Committees of local leaders in each community determine the best use of Giving Tree grant funds.
