About small grants for nonprofits

Small grants are lower-dollar awards — often a few hundred to a few thousand dollars — designed to be accessible to grassroots, volunteer-run, and emerging nonprofits. They usually carry lighter applications and reporting than large grants, making them a practical entry point for organizations new to grant funding. Small grants are well suited to discrete projects, equipment, or filling a specific budget gap.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

How much money do small grants for nonprofits award?

Of the 763 small grants for nonprofits Grantable lists as of October 22, 2026, 669 publish an award amount. The median listed award is $5,000, and the middle half fall between $2,500 and $10K. The largest is $2.5M. Amounts are each grant's stated maximum, so a typical award can be smaller.

Which funders offer the most small grants for nonprofits?

By number of active listings, the leading funders are North Carolina Community Foundation Inc (29), Community Foundation of the Ozarks Inc (12), The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina Inc (11), The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg (10), and Community Foundation for the Fox Valley Region Inc (7). In all, 529 funders have at least one active grant in this category.

When are small grants for nonprofits due?

Of 763 grants listed, 23 accept applications on a rolling basis, 47 have a published upcoming deadline, 91 run on a stated cycle (such as annual or quarterly) without a published date, and 602 don't publish a deadline, so check the funder's site. Among dated deadlines, 45% fall in October–December.

What counts as a small grant?

There's no universal cutoff, but small grants are generally modest awards meant to fund a specific need rather than a major initiative — supplies, equipment, a small program, or a one-time project. They tend to come with simpler applications, faster decisions, and lighter reporting requirements, which makes them attractive to small and newer organizations.

Who offers small grants for nonprofits?

Small grants are commonly available from community foundations, local civic and service clubs, corporate community-giving and employee-matching programs, and the small-grant or rapid-response programs run by larger foundations. Local funders in particular favor smaller awards that spread support across many community organizations.

Are small grants easier to get than large grants?

Often, yes — the applications are shorter, the competition can be more local, and funders are typically more willing to support newer or smaller organizations. They're a good way to build a track record and funder relationships that can lead to larger awards later. The trade-off is that the dollar amounts are limited and the funds are usually restricted to a specific, well-defined use.
