Description:

Request a Grant Writer

Grants to Ohio nonprofit organizations to improve health and equity in eligible regions. Some applicants are required to submit an online LOI prior to a full grant application. Funding areas of focus include reproductive health, adolescent and young adult cancer support, criminal justice, and the arts. Eligible applicants serve the communities of Northeast Ohio, generally those residing in Cuyahoga and Lorain Counties.

Grantmaking Focus Areas For Requests of $4,000 or More:

The Arts Access and Advocacy Support: Involvement and enrichment through the arts inspires, engages and builds a positive community—it should be more accessible and supported in under-resourced Northeast Ohio communities.
Criminal Justice Education, Advocacy and Support - Advocacy and support for individuals and families navigating the criminal justice system should be available to all, especially to populations experiencing systemic racism in Northeast Ohio.
Adolescent Young Adult (AYA) Cancer Support - Access to innovative and population-speciﬁc cancer care should be available to all AYAs in Northeast Ohio in order to improve outcomes and quality of life for adolescents and young adults age 13-30.
Reproductive Health Education and Services Support - Access to routine, quality and respectful reproductive health services should be available to all individuals of any age in Northeast Ohio.

For additional information on these focus areas, see: https://fowlerfamilyfdn.org/focus-area-framework/

For Requests of $1,000 – $4,000 This smaller grants process is for unexpected and/or emergency expenses that arise for which you did not plan. Examples include:

Emergency funding for an organizational need
Capacity building (strategic planning, executive coaching, program evaluation, etc.)
Operating support
Funding new and exciting ideas you may have!

Types of Funding:

Day-to-day operations are vital to the programming that the Foundation's grantees deliver. Therefore, the Foundation encourages requests for general operating support to advance the work of individual organizations.

Although the Foundation encourages general operating support grants, it recognizes that nonprofits know best what types of funds they need. That being said, the Foundation awards grants for all of the following purposes:

Operating support (encouraged!)
Programmatic support
Advocacy
Capacity building, for both staff and board
Capital support, on a limited basis
