Applications must be submitted electronically through the foundation’s website no later than Aug. 1. A second round of applications will be accepted through Oct. 1.

To be eligible, applicants must serve Washington County in one of the following areas: arts and humanities; community improvement; education; environment and animal welfare; health and fitness; or religious and faith-based.

Organizations must submit a project narrative detailing the project’s importance, goals, measurable outcomes, execution details and who will benefit. The application should also include a detailed budget outlining the project’s estimated expenses and revenues.

Capacity-building grants help nonprofits reach operational, programmatic, financial or organization maturity.

Grants may be used for equipment or material purchases, facility upgrades, marketing plans or materials and improvements to internal systems, among other things.
