The Community Foundation for the Land of Lincoln accepts grant applications for several programs and charitable funds throughout the year.
Annual deadlines for competitive grant programs are noted in the chart below.
Effective August 1, 2011, all grant applications must be completed using our online system. You may start an application and come back to complete it later. The system is very user-friendly and eliminates the need for charities to make multiple copies of applications and materials for each grant program. If you have any questions about the system, please contact the Community Foundation at 217-789-4431.
Click on the name of the program to access the online application system. There is a 'Preview Application' feature to view the full proposal before logging in to the system or creating an account. Most applications are will be made available through this page 30 days before the deadline.
