Competitive Grant Program

The 2018 Competitive Grant Program awarded $395,000 in grants to 31 organizations in six fields-of-interest: Arts & Culture, Economic & Workforce Development, Education, Environmental & Historic Preservation, Health and Human Services.

Each year, the Foundation receives more proposals than we can fund through the Competitive Grant Program. When a proposal does not receive funding, Foundation staff does not give up. We take those unfunded proposals and begin working with donors and corporate partners to offer them options for their annual grantmaking.
