Musgrave Multi-Year Impact Grants: Keys to Housing RFP

The Community Foundation of the Ozarks is proud to provide the grant administration for the Jeannette L. Musgrave Foundation, managed by U.S. Bank Wealth Management. On behalf of the Musgrave Foundation, the CFO distributes grants through several programs each year, with the Musgrave Foundation Distribution Committee making recommendations.

The Musgrave Foundation supports engagement in long-term, high-impact philanthropy by making available the opportunity for agencies to apply for larger-scale, multi-year grants. The Musgrave Multi-Year Impact Grant Program establishes long-term funding to have significant impact on challenges in the Springfield-Greene County region.
