Grants Offered by Prosperous Community Funders for Subgranting
The Grantmakers have announced the launch of the Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program, which aims to support community-based nonprofit organisations and other eligible entities in their mission to improve local communities.
Eligible applicants for this program include nonprofit organisations, tribal governments, local governments, institutions of higher education, Native American Organisations, Puerto Rico, and US Territories. However, ineligible subrecipients include individuals, for-profit businesses, and state governments.
The program offers subgrants through three tiers: Tier One for assessment, Tier Two for planning, and Tier Three for project development. Tier 1 Assessment Projects can include research, sampling, testing, monitoring, investigations, surveys, studies, and public education, with a budget of up to $150,000 and duration of 1 year. Tier 2 Planning Projects, on the other hand, involve planning, partnership-building, public outreach and education, coordination with community stakeholders, training activities, community involvement projects, smaller land purchases, and have a budget of up to $250,000 and can last 1-2 years. Tier 3 Development Projects can involve project development, blueprints for construction or cleanup projects, permit acquisition, smaller land purchases, implementation of project plans, public outreach and education, and have a budget of up to $350,000 and last 2 years.
Additionally, a limited number of $75,000 non-competitive fixed-amount subawards will be available for severely capacity-constrained CBOs to access. These grants support tasks that contribute to community well-being, prosperity, vibrancy, and equity, including projects in arts, animal welfare, education, environment, health, social services, and sports.
The Grantmakers will design and implement a distribution program best suited for their region and communities. Subgrantees can address various environmental issues such as air quality & asthma, fence line air quality monitoring, water quality & sampling, small cleanup projects, stormwater issues and green infrastructure, lead and asbestos contamination, pesticides and other toxic substances, healthy homes, illegal dumping activities, emergency preparedness and disaster resiliency, environmental job training, and environmental justice training for youth.
For more information, the Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program has provided FAQs and a factsheet on their website. Organisations eligible for this program are typically local charities and community groups that make a meaningful impact in their region, such as those in Te Tai Tokerau Northland, New Zealand.
The Thriving Communities Grantmaking Program is currently accepting applications for subgrants. Interested organisations are encouraged to visit the Grantmakers' website for more details and to submit their applications.
