Grant Program

Our Grant Program is designed to help organizations achieve their goals and make a positive impact on our communities. We support non-profit organizations that are committed to improving the quality of life for others. Our grant process is transparent and competitive, with awards given based on merit and alignment with our mission and values. We encourage you to review our past recipients and apply for funding to help support your organization’s efforts.

Apply for Grant

We are dedicated to supporting the communities we serve and are always looking for new and innovative ways to make a difference. If you have a project that aligns with our mission, we encourage you to apply next year for a 2025 grant from the Ackerman Foundation.
