Funding Priorities
- The Community Foundation of Central Missouri wishes to partner with nonprofits that share the vision and passion for improving lives of central Missouri residents. They consider the grants to be community investments and look for an “improved lives” return on the investments they make.
- To receive a Community Support Grant (if your organization did not receive one last year), the organization must consistently pursue work that falls into at least one of the following four CFCM priority funding areas. This means that the organization’s mission, or much of its programming, as well as the proposed application project, falls within of one of the following areas:
- human capacity development, especially for disadvantaged persons (equal opportunity, poverty reduction, education and literacy, affordable housing, work force training, diversity training, etc.)
- senior adult services (transportation, delivery, health/respite care, home care, etc.)
- arts (dance, theater, music, visual arts, literary arts, etc.)
- environmental sustainability and public spaces (environment, recycling, food production—farmer’s markets, public transportation, parks, trails, conservation, neighborhoods, recreation, aesthetics, etc.).
Funding Information
Grants between $500-$1,500.
