Conrad N. Hilton Foundation: Good Neighbor Program Grant

The Conrad N. Hilton Foundation's Good Neighbor Program supports local organizations in Westlake Village, California, with grants of $10,000 aimed at general operating support. This initiative streamlines the application process to enhance flexibility for grantees. Title 1 schools can apply for project-specific funding, capped at $5,000, ensuring that assistance is directed where it's most needed. The program emphasizes community engagement and supports nonprofits addressing the needs of disadvantaged individuals.

That’s why we support local organizations doing critical work near and around our offices in Westlake Village, California.
For this program year, all Good Neighbor grants will have a fixed award amount of $10,000. Good Neighbor grants will be allocated for general operating support, with the goal of streamlining the application process and providing grantees with increased flexibility.
Funding for Title 1 schools will be limited to project or program support. Funding for schools is limited to Title 1 schools within the program’s geographic focus area. There is a $5,000 limit for Good Neighbor grants to schools and requests must be for a project or program, rather than general operating expenses.
