SHAPING TOMORROW AWARDS

To celebrate 100 years of impact, we want to catalyze ideas that will inspire our community to change the next 100! Through the Shaping Tomorrow Awards, we will invest more than $1 Million into Lancaster County.  Whether your ideas are big dreams or small steps, we want to support the very best projects that focus on 4 broad categories: Creative Expression, Well-Being and Vibrancy, Our Planet, and Next Generation.

GRANT OPPORTUNITIES:

Rolling

For this program, applications will be accepted at any time until December 2, 2024, or until available funding is exhausted.

 

We will temporarily pause new grantmaking with our Cultivating Beloved Community and Community Bridge Builders programs, so we can focus our team’s time and energy into Shaping Tomorrow Awards.  We will continue to support previous cohorts throughout 2024, but we will not offer new grants through these programs this year.
