Grants Program

Now Accepting Applications for 2023 Community Grants
Woodbury Community Foundation is proud to offer annual Community Grants to invest in local nonprofits which are making a difference in our community.
WCF will give special consideration to funding nonprofit projects that address one of four strategic focus areas that have been identified by the community as areas of local concern in 2023. They include:
- Improve community health and well-being
- Reduce hunger, especially for underserved local families
- Increase public safety
- Expand youth development
WCF is committed to addressing racial and economic disparities. Proposals that demonstrate they foster inclusiveness and address disparities will be given priority.
Our 2023 Grants Program will fund grants of up to $1,000-5,000 in the four categories for qualifying nonprofits or government entities, including schools or community organizations, such as coalitions or a collaborative.
The grants will be awarded in conjunction with 2023 Woodbury Days. For questions, call the Foundation at 651-505-7024.
