Two overarching goals drive our competitive grantmaking — creating an equitable community and strengthening our region’s
vitality. This focus helps us and our community partners close achievement and opportunity gaps in city schools, foster racial
understanding, tackle the root causes and devastating impacts of poverty, support the arts, preserve historical assets, advance
environmental justice and sustainability, and promote successful aging.
From April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021, the Community Foundation’s board of directors approved the following competitive grants
(categorized under the two main goals and each of their three action areas). Forever (unrestricted) and field of interest funds make
possible most competitive grants.
A number in parentheses indicates how many grants were received during the one-year period for the same program and are
included in the grant total. Symbols listed in the key at the bottom of pages indicate grants from funds that have their own
application processes. Learn more about our grants at racf.org/Grants.
