Every US citizen now has fair access to the funding and support they need for projects that can help make our communities a better place to live, work and play without red tape, fine print, or restrictions.
Individuals, businesses, non-profit clubs, organizations, including faith-based churches and ministries are eligible.
Entrepreneurship is one of our core values, so a limited number of small business startup grants will be authorized each year, but unlike the others, the expectation is that the grant funding received will be DONATED BACK over time to help replenish the grant fund.
This grant program is NOT established as a non-profit, charity or foundation, therefore, we are NOT restricted in who or what type of projects we fund or how much we are able to give. This is decided by a board of directors and our project supporters.
