Community Grant Program
Supporting local education, sustainability, safety, and economic development
Prosperity Wind is committed to supporting educators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers in the community. One small way we do this is by giving back through our Community Grant Program. To date, the program has provided over $160,000 to regional non-profit organizations and community groups.
If you represent a group or organization that meets one of our four key funding categories (see below), we encourage you to complete the application and apply today. Our goal is to fund projects and programs that build healthy communities, create economic opportunity, encourage environmental sustainability, and promote education.
Community grants tend to fall in the $1,000-to-$5,000 range, but may be larger or smaller depending on the quality of the application and identified community needs. Grant dollars are limited; priority will be given to proposals that benefit residents in and around the project area.
