Grant to Support Educational Initiatives and Projects in Ohio (USA)
GrantID: 56835
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This funding initiative is designed to support nonprofits and community-focused organizations working throughout a multi-county region of Appalachian Ohio. The aim is to fuel projects that enrich local lives by advancing five key focus areas: arts & culture, community & economic development, education, environmental stewardship, and health & human services. It covers the full 32-county region defined as Appalachian Ohio, offering a broad geographic reach within that area.
Eligible applicants are nonprofit and community organizations serving places within the defined region. While the program does not explicitly emphasize for-profit businesses or individuals, it is geared toward groups that have demonstrated community relationships, a clear purpose, and alignment with the region’s priorities. The funds can be used for projects such as new community programs, service expansions, collaborative partnerships, facility enhancements, educational outreach, environmental initiatives, or creative arts initiatives that serve local residents.
Award amounts vary depending on the project size and the pillar under which it falls. Over recent years, the funding level has grown significantly — for example, the most recent year marked millions of dollars in total grantmaking across the region. The program accepts applications on a rolling or multiple-cycle basis throughout the year, enabling organizations to apply when they are ready rather than a single annual deadline.
The real benefit of this opportunity lies in its flexibility across focus areas and its emphasis on supporting local leadership, sustainable programming, and community vitality. If your nonprofit organization is active in Appalachian Ohio and you’re planning a project that fits within one of the five focus areas, this grant could be a relevant option to help bring your vision to life and deepen your impact in the region.
Organizations and individuals based in Ohio who are engaged in Arts, Culture, History & Humanities may be eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. To discover more grants that align with your mission and objectives, visit The Grant Portal and explore listings using the Search Grant tool.
