Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
The grant opportunities provide flexible funding designed to support nonprofits across a broad rural region. Offers awards generally ranging from a few thousand up to $75,000, aimed at driving community-driven initiatives in areas like mental health, workforce development, health equity, and broader community services.
Eligibility is quite inclusive: tax‑exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofits, coalitions or collaborative groups, fiscal‑sponsored projects, or small organizations serving residents within a defined multi‑county rural area—typically around a 60‑ to 80‑mile radius of a central town—can apply. The program is intended to uplift rural communities facing challenges in education, economic opportunity, and access to essential services.
The intent of the funds is to foster sustainable, transformative impact: for example, supporting workforce education and training, expanding access to mental‑health services, improving community health infrastructure, or building nonprofit capacity. The vision is to strengthen the social fabric of underserved areas through locally led solutions.
Applications open during a designated window—typically a month-long period in early summer—and programs generally require that applicants haven’t received funding in the past year. Awards are made multiple times per year or in cycles, and quarterly decision‑making ensures timely distribution of resources .
Grantees benefit not only financially but also through capacity‑building workshops, networking support, and technical assistance designed to bolster long-term effectiveness. Funds may be used for staffing, direct service delivery, program materials, and infrastructure tied to the funded initiative.
In summary, this opportunity invites nonprofit groups, mission‑driven businesses, and community‑serving individuals to submit proposals in creative categories—mental health, workforce development, rural health equity, and other community priorities. With grants up to $75,000 and ongoing supports such as training and peer collaboration, the program aims to catalyze real change in rural communities across multiple counties.
