Grants
The Homer Area Community Foundation welcomes and encourages the application of innovative and creative grant proposals that will promote the educational, recreational, environmental and cultural development of the Homer area. Grants will be awarded by the Homer Area Community Foundation from the Unrestricted Fund, the Bessie Edwards Education Fund, and the Youth Fund. Grant applications will be reviewed by the Foundation Board of Trustees and the members of the Homer Youth Advisory Committee. Grants, which show promise of helping a broad segment of citizens of the Homer area or help a traditional underserved portion of the population, will be looked upon favorable by the grant review committee. Grants from the Homer Area Community Foundation support the organizations and programs in our community that serve the needs of people in such areas as health, education, human services, arts and culture, youth, and community development.
Grant proposals for more than $200 will be reviewed twice annually. Grant proposals for less than $200 are considered "mini-grants" and can be submitted at any time.
