Grant Program


The NGCF Grant Program supports local non-profit organizations’ programming across various areas, including the arts, sports, education, health and wellness, and essential services.


The program awards grants, that range in size, on a biannual basis. From time to time, large grants or capital contributions are awarded when there is alignment on a large-scale community project.
