Instead of two equal funding intakes per year we will offer one larger grant cycle every fall and one smaller, more flexible grant cycle every Spring.
Starting Fall 2024, the Community Impact Grant will have $100,000 in total funding available. It is intended for larger projects that will significantly impact our community. Applicants may apply for some or all of the total available funding with an application deadline of November 1st. During the Winter Cycle, our General Grants stream will offer organizations up to $10,000 in single or multi-year grants with a deadline of February 15th.
By dividing our grants into two different streams and shifting our intakes away from other funder's dates, we aim to provide further strategic support for our applicants.
Previously, we offered two intake dates for one grant stream every year. Starting in the Fall 2024, we will offer two grant programs: one in the Fall and one in the Winter. The dates and amount available for funding has changed.
Many organizations have requested assistance with operating funds. Going forward, in our winter grant cycle we have lifted the restriction of allocating 12.5% of funding to operating costs and increased it to 50%.
