About community services grants

Community services grants fund neighborhood-based programs that address the causes and conditions of poverty, including housing, nutrition, utility and transportation assistance, employment supports, and emergency services. The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), administered by HHS's Office of Community Services, is the central federal source, flowing through states to a national network of local Community Action Agencies. Community foundations and United Way organizations also fund this work locally.

A long list is the starting point, not the shortlist. Our grant prospecting guide shows how to narrow community services grants down to the funders most likely to say yes, using their giving records.

Among dated deadlines, 51% fall in October–December.

What community services grants are available?

Community services grants support housing, nutrition, utility and transportation assistance, employment and education programs, crisis and emergency services, and community asset-building initiatives. The Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) is the primary federal funding source, delivered through states and local Community Action Agencies. Local funders such as community foundations and United Way chapters provide complementary grants.

Who funds community services programs?

HHS's Office of Community Services administers the Community Services Block Grant, providing funds to states, territories, and tribes that flow to a national network of over a thousand local Community Action Agencies. State and local governments, community foundations, and United Way organizations also fund community-based services. Eligibility typically requires nonprofit status and a focus on low-income communities.

What is a Community Action Agency and how does it relate to funding?

Community Action Agencies are the local nonprofits and public agencies that deliver Community Services Block Grant-funded programs in their communities, covering nearly every county in the country. If your organization provides anti-poverty services, your local CAA may be a funding partner, a subcontractor relationship, or a collaborator on joint applications. Connecting with the designated CAA in your service area is often the most direct route to CSBG-related funding.
