Grants are intended to support a wide range of locally focused projects, including but not limited to capital initiatives like furnishings or facility enhancements, and operational programs such as workshops, community services, or support for vulnerable groups. The goal is to bridge gaps not addressed by other funding sources, nurturing wellness, capacity building, and collaboration within the community .
Eligible applicants must be registered nonprofit organizations, with demonstrated community support and the ability to complete the proposed project . This opportunity is not open to individuals or for-profit businesses; it focuses on empowering local nonprofits to deliver lasting community value.
