Application Details

Applications for the Spring 2024 grant cycle will be accepted from December 15 through February 1 and must be submitted via the online grant portal. The 2024 grant cycle is closed.

Before beginning, please download and review the Grant Program Fact Sheet below (updated November 2023), which includes eligibility requirements, FAQs, and application instructions.

DOW CITY APPLICANTS: Proposals for projects specifically benefiting the Dow City area will be additionally shared with and reviewed by the 2024 grant selection committee for the Dow City Community Endowment Fund. Approximately $6,755 is available for this annual grant cycle and will be awarded to select organizations who applied through the Crawford County Community Foundation Spring 2024 grant cycle.

Please note that this is a shared application between the Crawford County Community Foundation’s Spring 2024 grant cycle and the Dow City Community Endowment Fund’s annual grant cycle. Dow City applicants will only need to fill out the Crawford County Community Foundation application once, and their project will be considered for funding from both entities.
