The Eau Claire Community Foundation’s Community Grant Cycle is now accepting applications!

ECCF’s Community Grant Cycle will accept applications from Nov. 1, 2024, to Jan. 15, 2025. Any tax-exempt nonprofit that serves Eau Claire County is eligible to apply. ECCF will offer grant training sessions on Nov. 6, Dec. 10, and Jan. 6 for nonprofits interested in applying for a Community Grant. 

While Community Grants traditionally support programs and asset purchases, ECCF has added an exciting and much-needed opportunity: Nonprofits can also choose to apply for grants of up to $10,000 to support their operations during times of increased need, such as unexpected revenue losses or unusually high expenses. 

During the Community Grant Cycle, nonprofits can assess their greatest needs and apply for either a Program, an Asset, or an Operations grant.

For more than 25 years, the Eau Claire Community Foundation (ECCF) has supported local nonprofits through its annual Community Grant Cycle. Through this cycle and other types of grants, ECCF has distributed more than $30 million to nonprofits since it opened in 1997. 

To learn more or to register for grant training session, please visit the “Grant Opportunities” page of the ECCF website (eccfwi.org), email the Program Coordinator at grants@eccfwi.org, or call (715) 552-3801.
