Environmental sustainability, social change, and civic engagement are vital for a healthy, resilient region. With those priorities in mind, we'll award grants in three focus areas:
Environmental Sustainability Grants will support community-led projects and nonprofits with a focus on sustainability and climate initiatives.
Social Change Grants will support organizations working with historically marginalized communities to advance equity and systems change.
Civic Engagement Grants will support nonpartisan organizations that promote social change, cultivate local leadership, educate communities about government and civic systems, and encourage participation in public meetings.
We understand the intersectionality of this work. To simplify that application process, organizations can complete one application that covers multiple focus areas. Only one application will be considered per organization.
Grants will range from $3,000 to $25,000. However, most grants will range from $3,000 to $10,000.
Before you start your application, please visit wcif.org/west-central-initiative-grants for more information, such as eligibility, allowable expenses, and evaluation criteria.
You will need to log in or create an account to apply. Once logged in, you can access your saved or submitted applications in the "My Applications" tab in the top right corner.
To view a started or completed application as a PDF, find the application you'd like to view under "My Applications," click the three vertical dots on it, and select download.
If you need assistance completing the application due to barriers related to health, ability, or limited access to technology, please email our Grants Officer, Amanda Quam, at amanda@wcif.org for support.
