Summary
This opportunity offers financial support designed primarily for nonprofit organizations. Grants typically range from around $5,000 up to as much as $100,000, with even larger amounts occasionally considered for major or capital projects. These funds can be used for general operating needs or specific projects, though ongoing operating support is generally discouraged beyond startup efforts. The foundation believes strongly in supporting initiatives with demonstrable community impact and prefers that operating grants beyond initial phases be matched and carefully limited to no more than one-third of the organization’s operating budget.
The fund is aimed at nonprofits advancing causes across a wide spectrum—including the well-being of children, youth and families, seniors, general community services, health, agricultural education, animal welfare and environmental stewardship, and arts and cultural programming. The intent is to strengthen local service delivery, reduce service duplication, and encourage coordinated, meaningful outcomes.
Excluded from consideration are individuals, organizations lacking current nonprofit status, entities supporting religious sectarian purposes, campaigns for endowments, annual fundraising or conferences, academic research, scholarships to individuals, and partisan or political activities. Likewise, unsolicited proposals from educational institutions are usually not accepted, except when related to agriculture.
In essence, this grant supports nonprofits committed to improving lives through community service, education, cultural enrichment, health, and environmental stewardship—empowering them to bring meaningful, lasting impact to their communities.
