Ford Family Foundation Good Neighbor Grants

Good Neighbor grants by The Ford Family Foundation are aimed at bolstering community initiatives and addressing unforeseen emergencies that disrupt programming or services. These grants support both program and capital requests, focusing on projects that demonstrate community support and have a clear sustainability plan. While not requiring a matching fund, the Foundation does not cover the entire budget of a project. Grant amounts can reach up to $25,000, with application processes designed to be convenient and accessible, reflecting the Foundation's commitment to rural communities' needs. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits, governmental agencies, and tribal nations, primarily serving rural Oregon and Siskiyou County, California. The grant application is ongoing, with decisions typically communicated within six to ten weeks.
