FY27 Local Guidelines
Grant awards vary annually based on available funding and the number of qualified applications received. In recent years, most awards have fallen between $250 and $1,000. Applicants should request the amount necessary to carry out their proposed program and seek additional funding as necessary.
There are no limits to how many grants an individual person or organization. However, if you submit requests for multiple grants, we ask that you let us know how you’d prioritize the grants in the instance that we can’t fund all of them.
