Community Grants Program
Truman Heartland has taken a needs-based approach to long-term philanthropy since 1982. Staff and board members heartland listen to residents and leaders about the issues and challenges they face; help communities assess and prioritize; and, most importantly, identify resources to create successful strategies.
In response to community-wide assessments, we established the Community Grants Program to support nonprofits that share our vision and passion for improving area communities. THCF makes annual grants from two unrestricted Community Grants Funds. Contributions to Unrestricted and Field of Interest Funds entrust our Board of Directors with the responsibility for selecting appropriate grantees from the following broad areas of charitable activity: arts, culture and historic preservation; building stronger neighborhoods; education; fostering a sense of community spirit; health needs for the community; leadership development for youth and adults; programs for seniors; positive youth development; transportation; and violence prevention.
THCF has established Guidelines for Grantseekers which guide this grantmaking process, routinely evaluating them in light of current and emerging community needs. View our most recent listing of THCF grant recipients or make a gift of impact to the Community Grants Fund today.
