Applying for grants
Grants from the Community Foundation support innovative opportunities to transform lives, champion equity and shape a brighter future for Broward.
Thanks to support from our Fundholders — who partner with us to create charitable funds at the Community Foundation — we offer rolling grants for our critical focus areas.
Here’s how our grants work
- Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status to provide services to Broward County can apply for grants. Individuals are not eligible.
- We offer rolling grants, available throughout the year, for critical focus areas essential to empowering our community to reach its full potential.
Our six grantmaking focus areas
NOTE: Grant applications for two focus areas — Building Community and Opportunity and Strong Nonprofit Community — are available by invitation only.
