Funds for Community Programs in the West and Midwest

Union Pacific Foundation:  Community-Based Grant Program
"The Union Pacific Foundation's mission is to improve the quality of life in the communities served by the Union Pacific Railroad, primarily in the midwestern and western United States.  Through the Community-Based Grant Program, the Foundation gives priority to requests that address the following categories:  Community and Civic, and Health and Human Services.  The majority of these grants are intended to help nonprofit organizations build their capacity, increase their impact, and operate more effectively.  Nonprofit organizations in the railroad's service area are invited to submit a preliminary application form online by 4pm CDT on August 14, 2013. (Early submissions are encouraged.)  Selected organizations will receive instructions on accessing the online final application form, which must be submitted by midnight CDT on August 15, 2013.  Visit the Foundation's website for more information on the Community-Based Grant Program."  For more grant opportunities, please review the GrantStation Newsletter.  [Source: Union Pacific Foundation]
