Description
The Evansville Endowment Fund's annual grant cycle provides funding for capital projects that benefit the City of Evansville, Indiana. The fund prioritizes projects within the city that foster social services, arts and culture, recreation, neighborhood revitalization, and economic development. At least 60% of grant funding is reserved for activities supporting or benefiting Evansville’s 4th and 6th wards. Eligible projects may include the acquisition, construction, or renovation of permanent facilities, parks, playgrounds, or neighborhood improvements, as well as economic development initiatives that supplement existing municipal programs.
This opportunity uses a two-step application process, beginning with a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) to determine alignment with the fund’s priorities. Invited applicants will then submit a full proposal for final consideration.
