The Greater Madison County Community Foundation currently has one granting cycle each year. We accept grant applications from charitable projects and programs impacting a wide range of needs in the community: arts/culture/humanities, human services, education, environment/animals, public/society benefit, health, and more.
Each year, utilizing guidance on best practices from the Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines, it is our intent to grant approximately 75% of those funds toward a few (two to four) larger projects, leaving 25% to fund smaller requests.
Grant recipients must be either a 501 (c) (3) organization or a governmental entity or have an organization willing to serve as fiscal agent who is either of the aforementioned organizations.
The 2025 Application will be available on January 1, 2025, and the deadline for completion of the 2025 application will be February 28th at 4:00 pm.
