HACF 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 Grant Review Committee and the members of the Homer Youth Advisory Committee. Grants which show the promise of helping a broad segment of Homer area residents or of helping a traditionally underserved portion of the population will be looked upon favorably 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.

General grants, (grant requests over $1500.00), typically take two months for a decision. Mini grants, ($1500.00 or less), can be submitted at any time and typically take one month for a decision. To apply for a grant you will need: a program/project budget in a Homer Grant Budget Form and a valid tax identification number. These items will be submitted as electronic attachments. Applicants must be a 501(C)3 non-profit. Applications must be submitted by the posted deadlines to be considered.
