GrantID: 74884
Grant Funding Amount Low: $500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $5,000
Summary
This grant opportunity offers modest but meaningful funding tailored to support community-driven projects aimed at boosting the vitality of small, rural regions across several western states. It is designed primarily for nonprofit organizations working to enhance local infrastructure or services, though not open to businesses or individual applicants. The emphasis is on one-time, tangible improvements—such as upgrading a public facility, acquiring essential equipment, or supporting capital enhancements that directly benefit the community’s long-term prospects.
Grants typically fall within a mid-range budget, with most awards falling between a few hundred to a couple thousand dollars. In special circumstances, requests up to a slightly higher cap may be considered, but review panels tend to favor modest, achievable projects with clearly defined goals. Funding is allocated on an ongoing basis, with applications accepted continuously and decisions communicated within a reliable timeframe.
Applicants are expected to demonstrate community support and alignment with broader objectives—such as enhancing public safety, enabling educational or recreational access, or fostering communal well-being. While small grants, the support can serve as a catalyst for further resource gathering and community engagement. This kind of assistance can be especially helpful for organizations looking to launch or enhance projects without the capacity for large capital fundraising.
Geographically, the grant supports communities located in rural locales across several western states—regions that often face challenges like limited infrastructure or dispersed populations. This targeted approach ensures that funding reaches areas where even small investments can have outsized impact.
