Think about a need in your community and how you and your volunteers could help, then apply for a Give and Grow project. Keep in mind that there is a 60-day window for reviewing applications, so it’s best to turn in your submission at least one month prior to your planned project date.

Eight $250 grants will be awarded each month. 

• A prefunded $250 Visa card for your project.
• Branded T-shirts for your team of volunteers.
• Free resources for promoting your project.
• A chance to win $1,000 for a charity of your choice. 

Each quarter, any member who applies for a Give and Grow project will be entered into a drawing where one winner who will receive $1,000 to be given to the charity of their choice.

Give and Grow projects should include anything that improves the community and directly involve members and their volunteers to make a difference in the community.

• Gather a volunteer squad and beautify a local citizen’s home in need. Grant funds can be used to purchase flowers, mulch, a bird feeder, or other various items. Then have your team bring the necessary tools to get the job done.
• Host a community dog wash! Use the grant funds to purchase kiddy pools, biodegradable dog shampoo, and be sure there is access to water.
• Rally team members to sponsor a local preschool or daycare and visit the location to do a project with the kids. Whether it’s reading books or providing an art lesson, grant funds could be used to purchase necessary supplies for the activities. If there are leftover funds, ask the teachers if they need additional supplies for the classroom.
