Impact100 Southern Indiana awards grants to nonprofits in our community in the focus areas of Arts & Culture, Education, Family, Health & Wellness, and Environment. Applicants may apply for grant funding (of at least $100,000) in a focus area that supports their mission, programs, or services. Applying for a grant starts with a Letter of (Inquiry) Intent. We recommend reading our eligibility criteria before proceeding.
