Douglas County Affiliate Grantmaking Program Spring FY25

The Douglas County Community Foundation (DCCF) is now accepting applications for its Spring FY25 Grantmaking Program, with submissions open from January 14 to March 31, 2025. This program aims to enhance the quality of life for individuals in Douglas County, relying on thoughtful grantmaking and leadership from community experts. The foundation’s grant decisions are overseen by a committee chosen for their local knowledge, supported by unrestricted or field-of-interest funds from charitable donors. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) organizations, government entities, school districts, and churches that serve Douglas County. Applicants may request funding of up to $2,000 for this grant cycle. Organizations that received funding in the Fall 2024 grant cycle are not eligible to apply for the Spring 2025 round. All applicants must ensure that grant funds and services provided through the grant do not discriminate based on race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or veteran status. Applications must be submitted through DCCF's online system, which enforces a character count limit for all grant questions. This count includes letters, numbers, spaces, and punctuation. All applications must be completed and submitted by 11:45 p.m. on March 31, 2025. For additional information about the grant program, applicants can contact Diana Middleton. For questions about the application process or technical issues, reach out to Latesa Carter at 417-864-6199. This grant opportunity provides a small but impactful source of funding for organizations dedicated to meeting the needs of Douglas County residents and improving their quality of life.
