The Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation seeks grant applications from charitable nonprofit organizations serving Linn County, Iowa. Organizations should be tax exempt under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, partnered with a 501(c)3 that has agreed to serve as a fiscal agent, or a governmental entity.

The Community Foundation offers multiple funding opportunities based on the type of project, organization age and size, and area of community need. Grant awards range from small, one-time grants to larger multi-year commitments.

Information about various grant programs, deadlines and application materials is available online at www.gcrcf.org, or by contacting the program staff at the Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation at 319.366.2862 or grants@gcrcf.org.

G r a n t W r i t e rs ’ W o r k s h o ps : Each year, the Community Foundation offers workshops for grant writers to provide information on funding opportunities and the GCRCF grant making process. Each workshop offers an overview of the GCRCF grant programs, information on completing grant applications and when to apply for grants. To be added to our grant writers’ workshop email distribution list, please contact the Program Assistant at 319.366.2862 or email grants@gcrcf.org.

The Foundation maintains strict standards to uphold the integrity of the grants process. Our conflict of interest policy applies to grant committees, board and staff and requires recusals in cases of conflicts of interest. Foundation review processes are methodical and transparent, with scoring tools for competitive grant applications available on the website, www.gcrcf.org.
