Exciting opportunities are on the horizon for local nonprofits, government agencies, and educational institutions, as The Shelby Foundation launches its first grant cycle of 2025. With a commitment to fostering community vitality, The Shelby Foundation is inviting organizations with impactful projects to apply for funding support.
Whether you’re working to enhance community resources, improve educational outcomes, or introduce innovative programs, your vision could become a reality through this opportunity. Eligible applicants must submit their applications by Friday, March 21.
What You Need to Know Before Applying
To qualify for a Shelby Foundation grant, your organization must hold a current 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status. Grant proposals should focus clearly on specific, one-time projects rather than ongoing operational costs, salaries, or budget deficits. It’s important to note that grants are generally not available for technology purchases, such as computer systems or software programs. However, scholarships to individuals pursuing educational opportunities are among the unique avenues of individual support provided by the Foundation.
Nonprofits seeking a funding boost to catalyze meaningful change within Shelby are strongly encouraged to apply. The deadline for submission is fast approaching—Friday, March 21, 2025—so now is the perfect time to prepare your proposal.
