Community Choice Grants invite and include members of the community in the nomination and selection process of our grantmaking efforts. Not only is this an opportunity for nonprofit partners to receive funding, but it also spreads awareness of their mission and cultivates new relationships. Community Choice Grants are another way we connect people who care to the causes that matter to them. Click on the graphic above to learn more and nominate by August 15th. 

The Community Grant Program has new dates and new guidelines! Through listening to our partners, including funders and nonprofits, we are making some changes to simplify the process for all.
