The current funding window is upcoming: applications are eligible November 30, 2026 through January 29, 2027. Awards are anticipated in May 2027.

Individual Applicant Funding and Eligibility

Each eligible nonprofit may submit one application for a maximum $3,000 individual grant. This figure is an individual applicant limit, not a statewide funding pool. The project or program must benefit people in the Foundation’s five-county Wiregrass service area. Eligible work includes qualifying local education, health, human services, culture and other community-benefit programs, subject to the current application requirements.

Restrictions and Funding Conditions

The foundation excludes grants to individuals, fundraising campaigns or events, endowments, partisan political advocacy, regular operating support, capital projects, religious purposes, research, fundraising sponsorships and start-up costs. Educational and social services delivered by faith-based organizations may qualify if the purpose is not religious. The published 2027 program page does not specify a mandatory matching percentage, fixed reimbursement schedule, or total program pool; applicants should confirm additional budget requirements within the current portal before submission.

Required Application Materials

Prepare the current and preceding fiscal-year operating budgets; audited financial statements if available; the Foundation’s Core Operating Standards for Nonprofits; the IRS determination letter; board of directors list; and a project-endorsement letter from the organization’s president. Apply through the Foundation’s linked online grants portal when the 2027 application period opens.
