Applying for grants
Grants from the Community Foundation support innovative opportunities to transform lives, champion equity and shape a brighter future for Broward.
Thanks to support from our Fundholders — who partner with us to create charitable funds at the Community Foundation — we offer rolling grants for our critical focus areas.
Here’s how our grants work
- Nonprofits with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status to provide services to Broward County can apply for grants. Individuals are not eligible.
- We offer rolling grants, available throughout the year, for critical focus areas essential to empowering our community to reach its full potential.
- We prioritize grantmaking opportunities that support Racial Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.
Our six grantmaking focus areas
NOTE: Grant applications for two focus areas — Racial Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion and Strong Nonprofit Community — are available by invitation only.

Health Hub: Tackling health inequity in our community
To address health inequities in South Broward, the Community Foundation is working with a mission-driven coalition of front-line nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and neighborhood leaders.
We launched the South Broward Community Health Hub to cultivate and support opportunities to eliminate food deserts, expand access to healthcare, and improve the overall health of residents.
