Individual applicant funding: The funder suggests requests of $15,000–$25,000. Importantly, the controlling application portal says requests above $25,000 will not be considered, so $25,000 is the maximum eligible request. The $315,000 total program allocation is NOT an individual applicant award.

Eligibility: Public 501(c)(3) nonprofits and qualifying tax-exempt governmental entities, school districts and faith-based organizations in good standing with the IRS that serve the Community Foundation of the Ozarks service region outside Springfield and Greene County, Missouri.

Project and budget conditions: Eligible requests may cover a separable portion of a larger expense when either the other funding is secured or that discrete grant-funded portion is clearly defined. The application requires a qualifying tax-exempt organization, project-specific documentation and adherence to the funder’s nondiscrimination terms. No universal cash match percentage or reimbursement method is stated in the public portal listing; review the complete form before applying.
