Como Charitable Foundation Grants

The Como Charitable Foundation Grants support various programs in human services and education, prioritizing organizations with proven community service records. Funding is available for projects that demonstrate genuine need and a solid fundraising plan. While operating support is a lower priority, proposals are reviewed year-round. The Foundation particularly favors projects benefiting Franklin Parish and surrounding areas, with a focus on capital projects and human resource improvements that promise broad public benefits.

NOTE: The Como Charitable Foundation Boards meets quarterly, so the deadlines vary. Please contact us and ask for the next application deadline.
