Summary
This grant opportunity supports efforts across a specific Midwest region, offering competitive funding for organizations and initiatives that serve community needs. The program includes multiple funding streams, each tailored to different goals—from assisting basic human necessities within metropolitan areas to bolstering safety services in more rural settings, and enhancing shared public spaces across the state.
At its core, the grant is designed for nonprofit groups—though certain streams may also extend consideration to local government entities—with a focus on practical, locally impactful projects. Eligible applicants are typically those serving residents in urban centers, small towns, or rural populations within the region.
One stream is dedicated to supporting foundational needs such as meals, health-related services, personal-care resources, and safe housing solutions in urban communities. Another component targets public safety, offering support to first-responder agencies—such as police, fire, and emergency services—in more remote, rural areas. A third segment backs efforts to revitalize public gathering infrastructure, including parks, community centers, libraries, and trails, with emphasis on projects that demonstrate strong local backing and innovative collaborations.
Funds may be used flexibly—covering programmatic activities, operational support, and, in some cases, capital or capacity enhancements. These might include facility improvements, training initiatives, or the groundwork needed to launch new community services. Typically, the available grant amounts vary by program segment and may reach into the tens of thousands of dollars annually, depending on the type of request and applicant history.
Applications are competitive and accepted on a yearly basis, with priorities favoring inclusivity, future leadership, collaborative partnerships, and sustained impact. Overall, this opportunity is a friendly invitation for community-minded nonprofits and agencies to secure support that fortifies essential services, public safety, and shared spaces within their region.
