The Community Foundation of Grundy County supports nonprofits who serve Grundy County, plus the community as a whole, in a number of ways, including our Grants Program.
Nonprofits serving (or wanting to serve) Grundy County are welcome to submit applications at any time of year. Our Grants Program is aligned with our fiscal year (Jan-Dec) and is active until that year's funds are spent.
Applications are due by the 3rd Monday of the month for review by the Grants Committee on the 1st Thursday. Grants over $1,000 must be approved by the full CFGC Board of Trustees on the 3rd Thursday.
Grants from CFGC unrestricted funds are generally NOT awarded to/for: individuals, scholarships, religious denominations, disease-specific organizations, operational budgets, and extracurricular trips/travel.
All questions can be addressed to Devan Gagliardo, Program Director, at [email protected] or 815-941-0852.
