The program aims to enhance educational programming and local activations across all 88 Ohio counties. Eligible applicants must be designated as an America 250-Ohio Community by December 31, 2024, and each application must include a letter of support from the local government entity. The application process opens on October 15, 2024, and closes on January 31, 2025, with grant awards announced on March 31, 2025.
