TCF: Community Impact Grants

_NOTE: The Community Impact grant program employs a two-step application process. Step one is the submission of a LOI. The LOI should succinctly describe the proposed project and detail how it meets the priorities of the fund. After review by the Foundation’s professional staff and Board of Trustees, a select group of projects will be invited to submit full applications._

The Foundation serves northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan with a particular emphasis on the greater Toledo area. Grants from the Community Impact grant program support a variety of services in the fields of education, social services, physical and mental health, neighborhood and urban affairs, natural resources, and the arts.

The Community Impact grant program provides seed money for new, innovative programming that addresses unmet community needs or expands successful programming to reach unique audiences.

Emphasis is placed on programs that will: Create safe, positive living environments; Enable families to develop the skills/resources needed to support and nurture each member; and Foster the development of responsible young people who are capable of achieving their fullest potential.
