Community Opportunity Grants

These small grants of under $5,000 were available for projects or programs that did not necessarily meet the Community Impact criteria of Education, Income or Health, but are important to the community. As with the Community Impact Grants, these Opportunity Grants were available to all potential community partners. The application process and forms were simpler and shorter.

A Grant Review Committee assessed these grant requests but did not meet personally with the agencies in order to make their decisions.
