The Mansfield Community Fund offers grants to support innovative programs that address the needs of the Mansfield community. Eligible projects span arts and culture, civic initiatives, conservation and environmental projects, education, and health and human services. Priority is given to projects that enhance existing programs, have limited access to alternative funding, and involve committed community volunteers.

Eligibility: Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations or governmental agencies serving Mansfield. Grant funds must be used within one year from the award date and cannot be applied to previously incurred expenses.

Application Process: Applications open on October 1 and close on December 1. Each application is evaluated by the Mansfield Community Fund Advisory Committee, which makes grant recommendations to the Community Foundation’s Board of Trustees. Applicants will be informed of their grant status in December.
