Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley-General Grant

_NOTE: Rolling application submission allows applicants to work on and submit their grant request at any time; all completed applications will be considered following the next deadline after submission, and funding decisions are typically made within three months of each grant cycle deadline._

Funding is available for eligible Mahoning Valley organizations. While there are no specific funding priority areas, requests should address needs of the Mahoning Valley community and its residents. Requests submitted through this application are shared with the Community Foundation’s advised funds that participate in grantmaking, and approved grants reflect our fund holder’s personal philanthropic interests.
