Summary
Organizations serving a specific region in the Great Lakes area may have access to a bi-annual funding opportunity designed to support mission-driven initiatives. This program invites nonprofit entities—particularly tax-exempt public charities, as well as eligible local government agencies—to apply. While the emphasis is on charitable work, small businesses or individuals are generally not considered.
The grants aim to enable a wide variety of projects that enrich local communities—everything from cultural programming and educational initiatives to health, social services, and environmental efforts. The intent is to foster positive, tangible outcomes that benefit residents across the region. Whether used to revitalize physical spaces, expand services, or build new capacity, funds are meant to directly support programming with measurable community impact.
Two distinct application periods are offered each year, allowing organizations flexibility in planning. Successful applicants gain not only financial support, but also the affirmation of their community-centered strategy. Previous recipients have leveraged awards to advance capital improvements, broaden access to cultural experiences, create educational outreach, and deliver critical social services in their communities.
Grant amounts vary widely—small, one-time contributions coexist alongside more substantial multi-year commitments—so organizations of different sizes may find a match. Although there’s no formal cap, applicants benefit from reviewing recent examples to understand typical ranges and scopes of supported projects.
The application process unfolds through a streamlined online portal. Applicants are typically required to register and navigate pre-screening steps before submitting a full proposal.
Final decisions are generally announced a few months after each submission window closes.
Overall, this opportunity offers a flexible, regionally focused path for nonprofit organizations to secure funding for impactful programming—especially when aligned with community needs and long-term local development goals.
If you are located in Ohio and working in the area of Financial Assistance, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
