    Type of Support

    Overview

    The grant program supports broad-based community initiatives in rural regions that focus on a wide range of areas including economic development, business preservation, arts and humanities, public space improvements, and education. Priorities include projects that engage a wide range of community members and institutions, encourage diverse community participation, have measurable outcomes within 12-18 months, involve community members actively in all project phases, and aim for positive community change. Projects must show community and institutional support, matching local financial or in-kind contributions, significant volunteer involvement, and feasible completion plans within 18 months. Funding is available for planning (up to $5,000) and implementation (up to $25,000) phases. Planning grants do not guarantee further funding but recipients may apply for implementation support post-planning. Implementation funds are aimed at tangible community-based projects not exceeding 18 months. The program excludes capital campaigns and supports new projects or those within their first three years, covering planning and/or implementation stages.
