Grant Funding Amount Low: $500
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $5,000
Summary
This grant opportunity is offered to organizations serving the tri‑state region of Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. The grants are available only to nonprofit organizations (501(c)(3) status) or qualified units of government. Individuals, for‑profit businesses and churches seeking to promote specific religious doctrines are not eligible.
The intent of the funds is to support charitable and quality‑of‑life projects across a number of focus areas including arts and culture, civic and community betterment, education, environment, health, and human services. Projects that bring new solutions, serve larger numbers of people, collaborate with other agencies, and address emerging community needs tend to receive priority.
Typical awards in one unrestricted fund stream are modest (often up to around $5,000) for individual projects. Other mini‑grant streams (such as teacher grants) offer smaller awards (for example up to $500 to $1,000). Regardless of size, grants require a clear plan of how the funds will be used and are not meant for general operating expenses, endowments, annual fund drives, or equipment replacement without clear purpose.
The benefits of this grant include access to regionally‑focused funding to advance community programs, enhancement of program delivery capability, and investment in local nonprofit capacity.
If your nonprofit organization is located in the designated area and works in one of the target focus areas with a defined project and measurable impact, this could be a great opportunity to explore.
