Community Grants Program
The Board of Directors of the Community Foundation allocates support for a wide range of community issues through the Community Grants Program. Grants are awarded to meet community needs and opportunities in the arts and humanities, education, housing, building capacity of nonprofits, and building social capital (projects that help build and sustain connections among people and groups); local nonprofit organizations may also apply for grants to help strengthen their organizational capacity in various aspects of nonprofit management. Grants will vary in size, duration, and frequency, and are determined based on the merit of the program and its potential impact. Grants usually range in size from a few hundred dollars up to $10,000; larger grants may be considered in rare occasions. Most grants are for single-year programs.

Scholarship Program
The Scholarship Program offers financial assistance to individuals pursuing education through our various scholarship funds. These funds have been established by generous donors, including individuals, families, organizations, and corporations from our community.
Scholarships ranging from $500 to $10,000 are available for qualified students. Each scholarship has unique requirements.
Recipients are selected on a competitive basis, considering academic and non-academic factors and demonstrated financial need. Many of the funds target students from specific areas of interest to the donor, including successful performance in high school, high school attended, and academic or career focus.
