Truman Lake Area Grantmaking Program

The Truman Lake Area Grantmaking Program Spring FY25 is designed to support organizations that improve the quality of life in the Truman Lake region. This program is administered by the Truman Lake Area Community Foundation, a local organization committed to thoughtful grantmaking and community leadership. The foundation is governed by a Board of Directors who have a deep understanding of the area and its needs. The grant program is supported by charitable donors who have established unrestricted or field-of-interest funds, allowing for flexibility in addressing the most pressing community challenges. The purpose of this grant is to provide funding for organizations that serve the Truman Lake area. Grant proposals are considered based on the availability of funds and are reviewed by a grant committee. The foundation aims to address a broad range of community needs through this flexible grantmaking program. While no specific funding priorities are stated, the program focuses on supporting nonprofit and government entities that benefit local residents. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, government entities, school districts, and churches that serve the Truman Lake region. Organizations may apply for up to $5,000 in funding during this grant cycle. To ensure fairness and inclusivity, the Truman Lake Area Community Foundation adheres to a strict non-discrimination policy in both grantmaking decisions and the use of awarded funds. Applications for the Spring FY25 grant cycle opened on February 1, 2025, and will close at 11:45 p.m. on February 28, 2025.
