Description
Deihl Community Grants, administered by the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation (GMCF), support projects likely to make a major impact on community efforts addressing basic human needs and youth. Proposals generally should clearly focus on constituents of Manhattan and Riley County, Kansas, and serve or affect a large segment of the population.
The program emphasizes defined projects rather than continuing foundation support. Multi-year funding toward an approved project total may be considered, allowing work to extend beyond a single year. Community impact, the scale of the population reached, and relevance to local needs are central priorities. Arts-related proposals are directed to GMCF’s separate Community Arts Grants application.
