Summary
Administers several distinct grant funds, each with its own focus, eligibility rules, and funding levels. In general, these grants are intended to support nonprofit organizations, small businesses, or individuals (depending on the specific fund), with the goal of improving community well‑being, economic vitality, or targeted social outcomes.
One fund supports nonprofits operating across a dozen or so counties and typically awards grants in the range of $1,500 to $4,000. Another fund is designed for nonprofits in a single county that can show projects improving local well‑being across areas such as health, education, arts, or capital improvements. A wellness‑oriented fund helps nonprofit groups in a subset of counties working on maternal/child health, prevention services, and social determinants; grants from that fund may range from $3,000 to $10,000 annually, with some multi‑year awards of $20,000‑$30,000. There is also a smaller grant available for LGBTQIA+ organizations, with awards from $500 up to $2,000. For individual needs, there is a mini‑grant for teachers or educational programs to assist students with disabilities; these are modest grants in the $250‑$500 range.
Also offers an economic development “retention & revitalization” grant that is open to small businesses, new or expanding, as well as nonprofit entities that support business development or workforce growth. That grant seeks projects that clearly advance regional economic goals like expanding the tax base, creating quality jobs, and attracting private investment. Small businesses (often defined as fewer than 50 employees) or individual entrepreneurs may apply, especially if they were constrained in starting or expanding due to recent economic challenges.
In summary, these grants vary in dollar amount, and aim to support nonprofits, small businesses, or educators/individuals in delivering community benefit, strengthening local economies, or improving health, education, or social outcomes.
