Summary
This grant opportunity offers small-scale funding designed to support community-led initiatives focused on prevention efforts. Available in one specific state in the Mid-Atlantic region, the program awards grants ranging from $500 to $5,000. These funds are intended for nonprofit organizations, small businesses, civic groups, or individual community champions who are working to design, implement, or enhance local outreach projects.
The grant encourages creative, grassroots efforts that engage local residents, increase awareness, and build capacity around prevention themes. Whether it’s an after-school educational campaign, a neighborhood health fair, or targeted outreach to youth and families, the funds can be used for materials, event costs, promotional campaigns, or small-scale staffing support. Recipients are expected to demonstrate a clear plan for how their projects will reach and involve the community, with measurable goals and a simple reporting process at the end of the funding period.
Benefit-wise, awardees receive not only financial support but also informal guidance and visibility through being part of a broader network of community-focused initiatives. The modest grant amount helps organizations leverage additional resources while maintaining flexibility to tailor activities to local needs. The intent is to empower smaller entities to have an outsized impact without the complexity of larger grant applications or extensive administrative burden.
Eligible applicants include registered nonprofit groups, small local businesses with a relevant mission, civic or school-based organizations, and in some cases, individuals leading volunteer-driven projects. The grant cycle opens periodically throughout the year, with applications accepted during announced windows.
Funding is awarded annually, sometimes in two or three cycles depending on budget availability. Applicants are encouraged to prepare proposals that speak to community engagement, inclusivity, and measurable outcomes. The emphasis is on supporting projects that foster lasting change through participation, awareness, and empowerment at the local level.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Delaware that are actively involved in Municipalities. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
