Community Impact Grants Program

Overview

In response to the recent downturn in the economy and the effect these hard economic times have had on the nonprofits serving our community, the Vanderburgh Community Foundation is offering two types of funding opportunities through its Community Impact Grants Program this year.  The two funding opportunities available are Program Support Grants and Operating Support Grants.  Organizations may apply for only one of these funding opportunities. 

Through this temporary expansion of its funding guidelines, the Foundation aims to provide area nonprofits with the type of financial support that's needed the most.  The Foundation values its partnership with the nonprofit community and remains steadfast in its commitment to impact the community in a meaningful way.

 

Grant Cycle

The Foundation's grant cycle will be announced by the end of July.   In an effort to save trees and postage, notices will no longer be mailed.  In order to receive email notification about our grant cycle, please sign up by clicking on this page.  It is important for nonprofits to read all current information on this website before applying for a grant.

 

Letter of Inquiry

A Letter of Inquiry is the required first step for submitting funding requests to be considered by the Community Foundation. The Letter of Inquiry helps in determining whether a funding request qualifies for consideration before the applicant invests time and effort in completing a full grant proposal. Please visit our Submit a Letter of Inquiry page for further instructions.
