Summary
Grant opportunities are available for those aiming to make a meaningful difference in their local communities. Specifically focused on one region in central Appalachia, these funds are intended to support a wide variety of charitable efforts. Whether you're part of a nonprofit organization, a local government agency, or a church group, there may be funding available to help bring your ideas to life. These grants are meant for projects that directly benefit residents of a small but close-knit county in southern West Virginia.
Funding is typically modest, ranging from $500 to $5,000, though in some cases, larger amounts may be considered depending on the strength and scope of the proposal. The opportunities are especially well-suited for grassroots efforts looking to enhance education, support youth and elderly services, improve health and human services, foster civic and community growth, promote arts and culture, or protect the environment.
Only organizations with tax-exempt status are eligible, and applications must clearly show how the project will have a direct impact within the designated county. The competitive nature of the funding cycle means that priority is given to proposals demonstrating sustainability, collaboration, and a clear benefit to the community.
These grants are awarded on an annual basis, with application deadlines typically falling in the spring months. This timing allows for thoughtful planning and implementation over the summer and fall seasons. The purpose of these grants is not only to support individual projects but also to inspire a culture of giving and long-term investment in the region’s well-being. For nonprofits already working in the area or those looking to expand into new initiatives, this funding presents a valuable opportunity to deepen local impact.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Illinois that are actively involved in Non-Profit Support Services. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
