A new grant opportunity is available to support innovative, community-driven projects that promote education, health, and sustainability in select areas. This funding is open to nonprofit organizations that are actively serving communities within certain counties in the mid-Atlantic region. The grants aim to encourage fresh approaches to local challenges by investing in programs that uplift community development, expand access to technology, support environmental initiatives, and preserve cultural heritage.

The application window is brief, with decisions and disbursements scheduled to follow within a few months of the deadline. This grant cycle reflects a broader effort to empower local organizations and help them continue the important work of serving their communities. Eligible applicants must operate in specific counties within the region, and they should be in good standing with all state and federal reporting requirements. Organizations interested in applying should be prepared to show how their project supports community resilience and aligns with one or more of the fund’s focus areas.
