Summary
This quarterly grant program provides funding from approximately $300 up to $40,000, with most awards ranging between $1,000 and $10,000. The opportunity is open to registered nonprofits, community groups, and select public or tribal entities. Applicants must serve residents within a defined region—primarily a single county or school district—or demonstrate that their project benefits a significant population from that area.
Applications are reviewed four times per year, with deadlines falling in mid‑February, mid‑May, mid‑August, and mid‑November. Projects with small budgets—typically under $2,000—may qualify for a streamlined mini‑grant application, offering a faster process with less paperwork. Emergency funding is also available periodically for time‑sensitive needs that threaten an organization's ability to operate normally.
Grant awards can support a broad spectrum of community-enhancing activities: arts and cultural events, educational programs, environmental efforts, health and human services, recreation, community and economic development, housing, transportation, childcare, and mental health initiatives. There’s also a smaller, special fund that offers up to $500 for youth-led initiatives, allowing teenagers to participate in the application and review process .
Applicants are expected to submit a formal proposal, basic budget information, and agreement to report on their project impact within a set timeframe—usually 10 days after review for notifications, followed by a final report within 90 days of receiving funds. There is no expectation for matching funds, making the program accessible to smaller or emerging groups.
Overall, this grant opportunity provides flexible, one-time support aimed at strengthening local nonprofits and community programs. Whether supporting innovative youth projects, sustaining essential health or social services, or launching cultural and environmental efforts, the program seeks initiatives that deliver measurable, equitable impact across the community.
Organizations and individuals based in Ohio who are engaged in Non-Profit Support Services 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.
