How To Apply

Most of the grants we award came from funds established to support specific causes or from donor advised funds, where the donor recommends grants from the fund to support charities that interest them.

In addition to these funds, the Foundation administers a number of funds that award grants for which nonprofits may apply on a competitive basis. For listings of competitive grant opportunities, please visit the grant page of our specific community funds. Specific criteria, grant guidelines and grant application forms are provided for each grant opportunity.

Our Grant Philosophy

Our Year at a Glance Grants

CommunityGiving is proud to have hundreds of charitable funds set up supporting philanthropic causes throughout the state, and a few throughout the nation. Our funds, and the grants given from them, are as varied in their goal as our donors are. While many focus on education, human services and religious organizations, there are a number which focus on diversity issues, animal health and rights, arts and culture, civic affairs and more!

We serve as a connecting point between you – the nonprofit – and donors, making the community stronger in a fiscally responsible way.
