Apply for a Grant
Applications are available year-round, and grants are made on a rolling and ongoing basis. Grant applications may only be submitted through the online applications below. Generally, any 501(c)(3) public charity that serves Hendricks County is eligible for grants from the Community Foundation.
In most cases, grants are reviewed on a quarterly basis. If the request is an emergency, please contact HCCF Program Officer, Eric Hessel, to discuss the possibility of expedited funding.
