The Piqua Community Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of its fall grant cycle and is now accepting standard grant applications, with a deadline of September 30, 2024.

Organizations with a 501(c)(3) or equivalent tax-exempt status are invited to apply for project-based grants. Applications must focus on projects that are religious, educational, scientific, literary, or charitable in nature, with a strong emphasis on benefiting the residents of Piqua. The impact on the local community is a key criterion for funding consideration.

The fall 2024 distribution is part of The Foundation’s semiannual grant cycles from unrestricted funds. The Foundation’s Distribution Committee carefully reviews all applications and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors for final approval.

For detailed grant program guidelines and to access the application, please visit piquacommunityfoundation.org/grants. For questions regarding eligibility or the application process, please email info@piquacomunityfoundation.org or call The Foundation office at 937-615-9080.

The Foundation looks forward to supporting the incredible work being done in the community and helping to bring positive change to Piqua.
