grant opportunities

ECF has a wide variety of grant programs that advance the three key goals of our 2016 strategic plan: racial equity, collaboration, and a thriving nonprofit community. Beginning in 2020 and for the immediate future grant cycles are on hold. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, ECF has pivoted its grantmaking to respond to the challenges of the crisis. Open applications are available for Operating Grants for Evanston-serving nonprofits.
