Special Grant Programs
The foundation administers several special grant programs that were created to meet the interests of donors or partnering foundations. Each of these grant programs has its own guidelines, application and review process.
Donor Advised Fund Grantmaking
Individuals, families and organizations that have established donor advised funds at the community foundation determine the goals and objectives of the grants from their funds. Donor advised funds are not open to requests for funding.
