Funding Opportunities to Strengthen Fayette County
At the Fayette Community Foundation, our mission is to inspire philanthropy and foster leadership that enhances the quality of life in Fayette County. One of the ways we fulfill this mission is by offering grant opportunities that support impactful projects and programs led by local charitable organizations.
We offer two grant options based on the size and scope of your request:
Mini Grant Program
For Requests of $2,500 or Less
Our Mini Grant Program provides a simpler path for smaller-scale projects or needs. This streamlined application is ideal for organizations seeking $2,500 or less in funding.
-
Open year-round, except during the Competitive Grant Cycle.
-
A brief application is required.
-
Decisions are typically made more quickly than through our annual cycle.
Access the Mini Grant Application
Please note: The Mini Grant Program is closed during the annual Competitive Grant Cycle and can be closed early if funds are depleted before the end of the year.
Competitive Grant Cycle
For Requests Over $2,500
Organizations seeking larger-scale funding should apply through our annual Competitive Grant Cycle, which typically opens in the summer. This process includes a Letter of Intent phase and, if invited, a full application.
