Community Grants Program – Unrestricted Grants
We are making adjustments to our 2023 Community Grants program.
As we work to improve our Community Grants program for the long-term, in 2023 we will offer a single, one-year, Unrestricted Grant program with awards of up to $20,000. There will be no Express Grants or multi-year Unrestricted grants awarded in 2023.
Learn more about why we’re making this change.
