HCCF Community Impact Grants

The Hendricks County Community Foundation (HCCF) Community Impact Grant Program provides financial assistance for charitable programs and projects that address the needs of Hendricks County residents. Designed as a responsive and open-ended funding opportunity, this program allows nonprofits and charitable organizations to apply for grants that help meet the specific needs of their organizations while driving meaningful community impact. Grants typically range from $2,000 to $5,000 but may go up to $10,000. HCCF emphasizes flexibility by offering unrestricted grants whenever possible and streamlining the application process to minimize administrative burden for applicants. Applications for the FY 2025 cycle opened on January 13 and are due by February 13 at 3:00 p.m. Organizations must ensure their projects are charitable, measurable, and serve the general public in Hendricks County. While schools and school districts are generally ineligible, projects that benefit the broader community, beyond just students and teachers, may qualify. The grant process includes several review stages, with decisions finalized by the HCCF Board in April 2025.
