Community Based Grant Cycle – Encantado Foundation

Now accepting nominations

The Encantado Foundation is pleased to announce the opening of the Community Based Grants funding opportunity. Funding nominations will be accepted today through November 1st until 11:59pm. Grant awards in amounts up to $5,000 will be available.

An organization may submit a self-nomination submitted by their staff or have a community member submit a nomination on behalf of the organization.

Community Based Grants are available for nonprofit organizations and/or fiscally sponsored projects that increase access to and build awareness for STEM careers; and advance STEM training opportunities for underrepresented communities.

This open, competitive funding opportunity seeks a broader view of the Foundation’s hire-ready mission to strengthen the digital workforce. Please visit the Foundation Grantmaking page to learn more about this open, competitive funding opportunity.

For special event grant support nominations, funding preference will be given to events occurring within 4 months of the November 1st application deadline.

We ask that every nominator create and register an account on our website. Nominators will then be able to view, complete, and submit the online nomination form.

For additional details, please join The Encantado Foundation staff at an upcoming info session.
