Four times a year, the MainStreet Foundation awards grants to nonprofits actively working in our communities to help kids thrive. These grants vary based on the need and are awarded in amounts up to $5,000.
Timeline
- The Foundation reviews donation requests four times a year: February, May, August, and November.
- The deadline for grant applications is the 15th day of the month preceding the review month (e.g., January 15 for review in February).
- Applications received later than this deadline will not be considered for support until the following quarterly review meeting.
- Notification of grant decisions will be sent by mail no later than the end of the month in which the Foundation’s decision-making groups meet and review applications.
