The Community Foundation of Greater Des Moines is accepting applications for the Leadership Grants Program to improve the quality of life in Greater Des Moines.
The Community Foundation leadership grant program seeks to improve the quality of life in Central Iowa. As their community continues to contend with the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, they have intentionally evolved their grant making priorities and cycles to provide more nimble funding, center grant awards around equity, and serve populations disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.
Characteristics of a well-aligned 2021 Leadership Grant project
- Serves populations in Greater Des Moines that have been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic.
- Addresses one or more of the 2021 grant making priorities noting how the project utilizes equity-centered strategies for strengthening their community in a post-COVID era.
- Leverages other funders, partners, and/or stakeholders in a project that has broad community benefit.
Funding Information
Leadership Grants range from $25,000 to $250,000 although there is no formal minimum or maximum.
