Grant applications stacked for review
| Community Funds and Field of Interest Funds of the Community Foundation provide a set amount for grants each year, according to a spending policy approved by our Board of Directors. Twice a year, we accept proposals from nonprofit organizations in Jefferson, Shelby, Blount, St. Clair and Walker counties. We review these proposals carefully as part of a competitive process, since we always receive more proposals than we can fund. The final decision is made by the Board of Directors.
Print out and read the grant guidelines and supporting documents below to make sure you have everything you need before submitting a grant. Please check the date on the guidelines to make sure you have the most current information before applying.
NOTE: We are currently operating under guidelines which were changed in response to local and national economic conditions. We request that nonprofits provide an electronic copy of their proposal, in addition to the three paper copies. If you have questions after reading the grant guidelines, contact James McCrary at 327-3812.
Before every round of competitive grantmaking (deadlines March 15 and September 15 each year), our staff offers sessions to explain how the process works.
If your nonprofit organization has never applied for a grant from the Community Foundation before or if your last application was submitted more than three years ago, you should send a representative to attend one of the regularly scheduled overview sessions to find out more about our grant guidelines. Current sessions are listed on the calendar at right.

Contact James McCrary with additional questions or comments or call him at 205-327-3812.
