Grant makers award grants based on their specific eligibility criteria.  Funding sources fund according to their pre-determined interests in program categories, locations, types of organizations and what monies may be used for. Some grants, such as the Project Drive Grant<\/strong>, a part of the G. L. Huyett Charities, are location specific. In their case, anyone outside a 50-mile radius of Minneapolis, Kansas is not eligible.<\/p>\n

Project Grants<\/strong> are allocations of money that nonprofits, organizations, institutions, and businesses are eligible to apply for by submitting specific project proposals.  Similar to project grants are program grants. <\/strong>These are grants where the money is used for a specific program such as establishing a gymnastics team.<\/p>\n

Most grant makers prefer to help start a project or program or give it a boost part-way through, but not to cover any ongoing expenses once it is up and running. They want the project to become self-supporting, for its operational costs to come from other additional efforts, such as endowments or membership drives for nonprofits and operating activities such as sales.<\/p>\n

How do people find out about grants in their area? <\/strong><\/p>\n

To find out about grants in their area, people need to be plugged in to the network, like working for a nonprofit organization that gets reports regularly of funding opportunities in their area, or by subscribing to a grant database like GrantWatch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Those eligible to apply for Project Drive<\/strong> grants include any project that will help make the community a better place. Previous recipients of grant funds include: technology, electronics, playground equipment for schools; books and supplies for libraries; equipment\/appliances for local organizations; building materials for facility renovations; and training materials for support groups.<\/p>\n

Foundation and corporation grants <\/a>can be found on GrantWatch.  Be sure to change location on the navigation bar so that all grants listed will be for your location. Here are two examples of foundation grants:<\/p>\n

Grant award recipients were announced during their annual company Thanksgiving gathering.  Project Drive, founded in 2007 by G.L. Huyett, is part of a comprehensive community improvement program that awards grants of up to $50,000 for any one project to a non-profit individual, institution, or organization seeking to improve a North Central Kansas community.<\/p>\n

Project Drive started with $1,000, grew to $5,000 in 2010, and increased to $25,000 in 2015 thanks to contributions from private donors. In 2018, Project Drive awarded $59,022 to 11 projects in Cloud, Ottawa, and Saline Counties.<\/p>\n

Project Drive’s awards this year provide funds to impact a library, adult day care, veteran\u2019s memorial, after-school program, senior meal delivery program, food banks, low-income families and individuals, and several community organizations.<\/p>\n
