Community Impact Grants

These grants received the majority of the funds that were distributed in 2011. Grants were awarded to programs in the three focus areas of Education, Income and Health.


These grants were for requests above $5,000. They were open to all potential community partners that are nonprofits (as designated by the IRS and may include government agencies and school districts), OR are partnering with a 501C (3) agency. An agency may have requested funding for individual programs that are less than $5,000, however if the total request was larger than $5,000, an agency needed to fill out the forms for a Community Impact Grant.
