The Nord Family Foundation Grants Program
Who can apply: Applicants must be nonprofit organizations qualified under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or selected public sector activities. The majority of grants support organizations in Lorain County, Ohio, or organizations whose work directly reaches or impacts Lorain County. Selective grants may support organizations in Boston, MA; Columbia, SC; Cuyahoga County, OH; Denver, CO; and Penn Yan, NY. The Foundation generally does not fund debt reduction, academic research, event sponsorships, individuals, fiscal agents, or endowments. Capital requests may be considered under specified criteria, including service to an under-resourced population, leverage of additional community giving, and a substantial locally led campaign.
Deadline: Applications are due online by 5pm EST on April 1 for a June decision, August 1 for an October decision, and December 1 for a February decision. If a deadline falls on a weekend, submissions are accepted by 5pm the following Monday.
