Community Impact Grants

Through our Community Impact grant program, DuPage Foundation supports programs and projects that raise the quality of life for DuPage County residents.  During two grant cycles each year, applications are accepted from local not-for-profits serving the DuPage County community in the following areas:  

Spring:
•    Health & Human Services

Fall:  Please note that these priority areas have changed for 2025
•    Youth Education
•    Workforce Development
•    Environment 
•    Animal Welfare

Arts & culture grants are now awarded in the fall under the banner of DuPage Foundation’s Arts DuPage initiative.  As our community’s champion for the arts, Arts DuPage supports, promotes, advocates, and distributes grants for the arts throughout DuPage County by stimulating engagement and investment in our vast cultural landscape.  

Information Session

Join us for a Zoom informational session on January 15 at 11:00 a.m. about grants available through the Community Impact and Arts DuPage grant programs. Following a short overview of the grant programs, participants will have the opportunity to ask questions related to the application priorities and processes.


Grant Guidelines and Application

Before beginning an application, we encourage all applicants to review the 2025 Community Impact Grant Guidelines for updated priorities and grant categories. 

Beginning this spring, we will be offering a new Seed matching grant opportunity to provide support to not-for-profit organizations that have had their 501(C)(3) designation for less than three years.
