Apply for Grants

Though most Community Foundation grants are designated by donors, grants to nonprofits that go through a review process include statewide and local Giving Tree grants and special grant programs administered by the Foundation.

You may also apply for statewide grants from the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame Foundation which awards grants to programs that benefit African-American or other underserved populations in Arkansas. Programs focusing on education, health and wellness, youth development and economic development are encouraged to apply from February 1 to April 1.

Giving Tree Grants

Giving Tree Endowments at the local and state level make annual grants through a competitive process to support a variety of causes, based on changing community needs. Committees of local leaders in each community determine the best use of Giving Tree grant funds. Other special grant programs are administered by the Community Foundation, including Delta Endowment for Building Community and Arkansas Black Hall of Fame Foundation grants.
