Special Projects

This mini-grant program has funded some exciting and innovative projects over the years.

The intent of this grant is for one-time only events and projects, or to provide initial star-up funding for an ongoing program. Awards are limited to a maximum of $1,000 and are one-time only per project. Organizations can apply more than once, so long as the funded project is different each time.

Applications are considered throughout the calendar year on a “first-come-first-served basis” until the yearly budgeted amount is expended.
