The Buena Vista County Community Foundation (BVCCF) has announced the opening of its Fall 2024 Grant Cycle, which provides funding opportunities for local nonprofits, governmental entities, and public school agencies in Buena Vista County. The application period is currently open and will close at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 20, 2024. The Foundation typically offers grant funding twice a year, and organizations that do not meet the eligibility requirements may apply through a fiscal sponsor.

Grants are awarded based on the size of the funding request and the availability of matching funds, categorized as small, medium, or large grants. Applications must be submitted by the deadline, as late submissions will not be considered. The application form and additional resources, such as a detailed FAQ and a step-by-step slideshow guide, are available on the Foundation's website.

Completed applications can be mailed to BVCCF at PO Box 771, Storm Lake, Iowa, 50588, or delivered to the drop box located at Storm Lake United (119 W. 6th Street, Storm Lake, Iowa). The Foundation encourages applicants to review all available guidance to ensure a complete and competitive submission.
