Biannual Funding for Impact-Driven Nonprofit Programs in Ohio (USA)
GrantID: 73172
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This grant opportunity offers support to eligible nonprofit organizations, with a strong preference for those based in a specific region of the United States, though exceptional projects beyond that geography may also be considered. The funding is directed toward initiatives aligned with somewhat broad themes—examples include enhancing health and well‑being, preserving natural environments, supporting learning and education, or fostering creative and cultural endeavors.
Eligible applicants must be recognized as tax‑exempt or operate under the fiscal sponsorship of a nonprofit entity, and their proposed work must clearly connect to one or more of the thematic priorities. The foundation does not provide awards to individuals or for-profit businesses; rather, it focuses on nonprofits that demonstrate community impact and program alignment.
While exact limits are not rigidly specified, grants historically range in size from modest amounts, often around a few thousand dollars, up to larger awards that can reach tens of thousands on average. There have been occasional outlier awards that are substantially larger, though those are rare. The average award size tends to fall in the low five‑figure range, with many grants clustered near this level.
This grant is offered twice a year, with two application windows—one in spring with decisions by early summer, and another in the fall with decisions before year’s end. Organizations that receive funding in one cycle are generally eligible to apply again in a later cycle.
Funds are intended for project implementation or general operating support tied to the thematic areas—think community health programs, educational workshops, conservation efforts, or arts programming. They are not meant to support purely administrative expenses like salaries or overhead unrelated to project outcomes. The timeline and flexibility of format allow applicants to submit proposals without heavy prescriptive formatting, making it relatively approachable to express the intent and impact of the proposed work.
This opportunity can be especially helpful to nonprofits focused on regional impact and working within health, education, environmental, or arts domains, offering meaningful funding over two annual cycles to support their programs.
