Douglas Community Fund

Competitive grants supporting medical and other needs in Douglas County.

APPLICATION WINDOW: DECEMBER 1 - JANUARY 16 AT 3:00 PM

Applicants will be notified in late March to early April.

The Douglas Community Fund's competitive grant program accepts applications for the spring cycle to support a wide variety of projects in Douglas County. Because the Douglas Community Foundation was originally created to provide funds for a regional medical facility, the medical needs of Douglas County continue to have a high priority.

Grant applications are accepted from December 1 to January 16 at 3:00 pm. Please note that the Douglas Community Fund grant program does not accept multiyear requests for funding.

Grants sizes from this fund typically range from $2,000 to $10,000 with occasional grants in the $15,000-$20,000 range.
