Things We do 
Our team dedicates many hours each week researching grants in 9 core areas including: Arts & Culture, Community & Economic Development, Education, Human Services, Social Justice/Advocacy and Faith-Based. We do this work because we understand that your success depends on adequate funding. You improve our communities. You invest your time, energy, and compassion for the children and families that you serve. So, we want to keep you informed of the latest funding opportunities. It is our hope that you secure the funding you need so that your program thrives!
Things We Don’t Do
We do not control actual funding from other grant-makers, or the other grant-making foundation’s website, application process, or online application portals. If you experience technical difficulties with submitting your grant application to any funder listed in our funding alerts, you will need to contact the grant-making foundation directly. We will always provide each foundation’s contact information which can be used to assist you in getting specific questions answered or resolving technical issues when submitting your application, proposals, or required documentation.
