Deadline: 15-Oct-21
La Crosse Community Foundation (LCF) has announced a traditional grant program, the standard and mini grants, intended to support new, or expansion portions of existing, projects and programs in La Crosse County.
Funding Priorities
- The foundation encourages competitive grant applications for results-oriented projects and programs that address a proven community need or priority that is aimed at making La Crosse County a better place now and for future generations.
- Standard grants are for requests over $7,500
- Mini grants are for requests $7,500 or less.
Eligible Projects
- The foundation is primarily interested in funding projects and programs operated by well-managed organizations in our eight program areas:
- Arts & Humanities,
- Culture & Diversity,
- Education,
- Environment,
- Faith,
- Health & Human Services,
- Recreation & Wellness, and
- Community Improvement.
Their board of directors prefer requests that align with the following:
- Seek to meet a new or growing need felt by a broad segment of the community
- Offer lasting value that can be demonstrated through measurable results
- Include a realistic sustainability plan for funding post LCF support (if project is ongoing)
- Promote collaboration among agencies, without duplicating services
- Includes additional funding partners.
Note: Requests must be submitted online through our grant portal and an access code is required to apply.
