Quick Response Grants
Our Quick Response grants are one part of our Community Funds pool and are meant to offer a rapid, flexible response to community needs and emerging opportunities. These grants are designed to support smaller dollar needs. Program operational needs, direct services, capital, or equipment are all eligible for funding.

Post-Grant Reports
We value data and how it informs both our ongoing impact and future grants. Grant partners will be invited to complete a post-grant/final report within a year of being awarded a grant.
Post-grant reports are used to understand the outcome of your project or program and allow us to share the successes of your work with our supporters, community partners, and the general public.
