Summary
This funding opportunity provides financial support for nonprofit organizations serving communities in north-central Pennsylvania.

Eligible applicants are primarily nonprofit organizations, with emphasis on those addressing regional concerns in areas such as health, education, youth programming, arts and culture, economic vitality, human services, and environmental preservation. While small businesses and individuals are generally not eligible, collaborative projects that involve community partners are often encouraged. Grant funds may be used for direct programming, capital improvements, equipment, or operating support when aligned with the funder’s mission and regional priorities.
Past awards have helped sustain arts programming, expand access to healthcare services, create recreational and environmental projects, and develop resources for vulnerable populations. Typical recipients include local service agencies, cultural institutions, educational initiatives, and community development organizations. Grants have supported both small-scale projects with immediate outcomes and larger initiatives requiring multi-year investments.

Organizations operating within or serving residents of these regions are eligible to apply. By distributing awards at varying levels, the grant program balances accessibility for smaller grassroots groups while also enabling larger organizations to pursue more ambitious projects. Ultimately, the program seeks to create meaningful, lasting improvements in the quality of life for residents throughout the region.
