The Mini Grants offered by the Wayne County Foundation are designed to support smaller projects, short-term programs, or unplanned opportunities that require immediate funding. These grants are particularly suitable for newer nonprofit organizations or those who haven't previously applied for a grant from the Foundation. Grants can be requested for up to $5,000. Eligible applicants must be 501(c)(3) organizations operating in or serving Wayne County, Indiana. Priority is given to projects that address significant community issues, present innovative solutions, or demonstrate the stability and qualifications of the applicant organization. The next grant cycle opens on August 1, 2024, with a deadline of August 30, 2024, and awards announced on October 11, 2024.
