Description
The Greater Manhattan Community Foundation’s Deihl Community Grants support projects likely to make a major impact on community efforts addressing basic human needs and youth. The program emphasizes projects located in, or affecting, a large segment of the population, with grants generally directed toward proposals clearly focused on constituents of Manhattan and Riley County, Kansas. Arts-related proposals are directed to the separate Community Arts Grants application.
The Deihl grants committee reviews proposals quarterly through an ongoing online application process. The program generally favors projects that do not require continuing foundation support, although multi-year funding may be considered to reach an approved project total. Initial screening includes a letter of intent or interest, and the committee may request an interview with proposers.
