Summary
This funding opportunity is designed to serve organizations and individuals based in a specific U.S. state, with the goal of strengthening community capacity, supporting youth and students, and enabling organizations to meet evolving community needs. Nonprofit entities operating within the state are eligible for grants aimed at advancing mission-driven work, while students and scholars residing in the state may apply for scholarships or fellowships.
For nonprofit-eligible applicants, the funds can be used for projects that align with broad community priorities: enhancing organizational capacity, expanding service delivery, developing youth leadership, increasing access to education or arts programs, or improving infrastructure in underserved areas. The emphasis is on aligned outcomes, community benefit and strategic impact rather than purely operational support. For student-eligible applicants, the scholarship component allows individuals to pursue post-secondary education or specialized training in fields aligned with the state-wide priorities.
Grant award amounts vary considerably depending on the type and scale of project. Smaller grants for organizational capacity building or pilot projects may be in the low-to-mid thousands of dollars, while larger strategic grants might reach into mid-hundreds of thousands. Scholarships vary award amounts depending on the particular fund and applicant need. Deadlines are on a recurring basis, often tied to seasonal application rounds—frequently with one major deadline annually per grant cycle, and scholarship funds following their own schedule within the year.
The program is structured to run on an annual or recurring basis, with multiple grant programs and scholarship opportunities each year. Interested organizations and students are encouraged to align their proposals to the thematic interests of supporting community growth, educational advancement and equitable access. This opportunity is well suited to nonprofits in the state seeking to deepen their impact, as well as students within the state seeking educational or leadership advancement.
