The Community Foundation has partnered with the Burke Foundation to award grants annually to nonprofits working in our regional grantmaking footprint.

The program awards both program and operating support to nonprofits working to address the needs of low-income individuals, families and communities. Operating grants allow nonprofits to build their capacity and reach the next level of organizational maturity.

The Community Foundation encourages organizations that provide a wide range of initiatives to improve the quality of life to apply. Among the types of initiatives that may be considered are affordable housing, arts initiatives, community and economic development, and programs that enhance the cognitive and social-emotional development of young people.

More information about the applications process for the 2022 Grants will be posted here in March.
