Erie Insurance Giving Network Community Grants invite qualifying nonprofit and accredited educational applicants in communities served by Erie Insurance to request charitable funding aligned with safety, community building or environmental responsibility. The program is applicant-facing financial assistance, not procurement of goods or services.
Applicant funding: Requests for less than $25,000 may be submitted for review at any time. The $25,000 amount is an application-review threshold, not a published universal individual award maximum. The funder has not announced an across-the-board award ceiling or guaranteed amount for all community projects. Requests of $25,000 or more follow scheduled larger-request deadlines.
Eligibility and geographic restrictions: Applicants should be nonprofit, tax-exempt organizations or accredited educational institutions located in areas Erie Insurance serves. The project must support at least one of the stated giving priorities: safety, community building and environmental responsibility. Organizations should confirm locality, tax status, and project eligibility under the official request process.
Deadlines: Funding requests under $25,000 are rolling, with no fixed application close date in the current official listing. Larger requests have separate review deadlines depending on funding mechanism. For example, December 18, 2026 is the specific deadline for Erie Insurance Foundation Investing in Our Future requests for 2027, while March 19, June 25, and August 27, 2027 are later general larger-request dates. These deadlines do not close the smaller rolling request opportunity. No official time or time zone is stated for the listed dates.
Conditions: For multiple projects, submit separate applications concurrently. The public program page does not impose a universal match, reimbursement condition or uniform prohibited-expense list applicable to all grants. Applicants should review the specific funding form and request guidance before allocating costs. A prior grant does not guarantee a future award.
Next action: Review the Giving Network funding priorities and request instructions, prepare a nonprofit project and a budget of less than $25,000 for the rolling channel, and submit the official funding request. Official source checked November 7, 2026: https://www.erieinsurance.com/givingnetwork .
