Summary
This grant opportunity invites nonprofit organizations, educators, and community-focused endeavors to apply for supportive funding. Grants are available through a regular cycle each summer and early fall, with applications typically opening in July and closing by the end of September. Eligible applicants may include nonprofits with tax-exempt status, educators operating within public school systems, animal welfare groups, and organizations serving local communities in specified coastal counties.
Several types of support are offered, depending on the nature of the applicant and the project. One stream provides modest grants of up to around $2,000 to individual teachers or school-affiliated educators to help purchase classroom materials, technology, or experiences that directly benefit students. Another stream offers slightly larger awards—up to approximately $10,000—for charitable and educational programs led by nonprofit organizations in areas such as community service, economic development, youth programming, environmental work, and more.
There’s also a dedicated grant series focusing on health, child welfare, and educational causes, allowing nonprofits in the region to apply for more substantial support of up to around $20,000. Additionally, dedicated assistance for animal welfare initiatives is available, supporting programs like spay/neuter services, adoption efforts, and community education.
The intent behind these funds is broadly to enhance local quality of life, enrich education, bolster health and child-related services, support community vitality, and strengthen the welfare of companion animals. The grants aim to empower organizations and educators working to create meaningful, grassroots impact in classrooms, neighborhoods, and among vulnerable populations—fostering innovation, equity, and sustainable community benefit.
This grant may be available to individuals and organizations in Mississippi that are actively involved in Non-Profit Support Services. To locate more funding opportunities in your field, visit The Grant Portal and search by interest area using the Search Grant tool.
