The New Albany Community Foundation welcomes grant applications from non-profit organizations serving the New Albany-Plain Local School District community. Our grant review process is intended to encourage ideas and proposals from a wide variety of fields. Grants are awarded annually at the end of the calendar year. A grant application review committee comprised of Foundation board members and staff, those with funds at the Foundation and community representatives, convenes to review the applications and render recommendations to the full Foundation Board of Trustees. The board awards the grants.

The scope of the Foundation’s charitable grantmaking includes both capital and program grants. Typically, grants are awarded under the following categories: Arts, Culture & Humanities; Civic/Community Development; Conservation & Environment; Education; Health & Wellness, Human Services; and Youth Human Services.
