Community development grants with open deadlines

8 currently open · refreshed daily

Community development spans HUD programs, EDA economic development funding, Treasury CDFI awards, and USDA rural development. Much of this money flows to local governments first, but nonprofits are directly eligible for many programs — especially CDFI funds, capacity building, and rural community facilities. These grants reward being specific about geography: name the census tracts, the county, the corridor. If your nonprofit serves a rural area, filter for USDA listings — rural set-asides are routinely less competitive than national pools. Live listings below, refreshed daily.
