2017 Fall Grants Available to Local Nonprofits!

Up to $10,000 in capacity-building grants are available to local community nonprofits, beginning September 8th

The VNA Foundation of Greater North Penn provides a spring and a fall grant cycle each year to support local nonprofit organizations having the capacity to strengthen lives along a continuum of need, thus building stronger and healthier communities in this region for generations to come.

Each Fall, the VNA Foundation provides up to $10,000 to local nonprofit partners in the community successfully applying to the foundation for support within a specific area of organizational need. Since the VNA Foundation Board has committed itself toward strengthening nonprofits which may need to build operational, programmatic, financial, or planning capacity within their organizations, the 2017 Fall Grant cycle will focus on awarding funds to nonprofits serving the North Penn region of Montgomery County which may seek capacity-building grants to more effectively and efficiently fulfill their mission.

Up to $10,000 will be available to each successful, qualifying nonprofit organization applying to build the capacity of their organization within areas such as the following:
