Nearly $800K granted to nonprofits through 2026 Competitive Grants

“The orga­ni­za­tions we’re fund­ing are tack­ling urgent com­mu­ni­ty needs with imag­i­na­tion and deter­mi­na­tion,” said Lau­rie Andrews, Pres­i­dent of the Com­mu­ni­ty Foundation. ​“Their col­lab­o­ra­tive spir­it and per­se­ver­ance tru­ly moved us, and we’re proud to sup­port the impor­tant work they’re doing in our community.” 

This year, the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion received 66 appli­ca­tions for Com­pet­i­tive Grants total­ing near­ly $1.15 mil­lion in requests. The grant requests were reviewed by a vol­un­teer com­mit­tee com­prised of 30 com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers, includ­ing 4 high school stu­dents. Grants were award­ed based on com­mu­ni­ty need and antic­i­pat­ed impact. Fund­ing for the Com­pet­i­tive Grants pro­gram is pro­vid­ed by Old Bill’s CoChal­lengers, Friends of the Match, indi­vid­ual donors and endowed funds. The full list of grantees is detailed below.
