The Community and Momentum Funds

These are our primary grantmaking programs. Through the Community Fund, we are able to respond to changing needs. Typically, these awards are made to newer projects or programs.  The Momentum Fund makes grants to existing programs that have demonstrated successful outcomes. A committee of board members and community members review proposals.

Unrestricted Competitive Funds administered by the Foundation place special emphasis on programs that demonstrate impactful outcomes. Impactful outcomes have a multiplier effect on the dollars invested -in services provided, expansion of organizational capacity and advancing community priorities.
