USA TODAY Grant for Community-Building Opens This June

The USA TODAY NETWORK has started a crowdfunding and grantmaking program from the Gannett Foundation that aims to invest in community-building initiatives across the country. The A Community Thrives initiative allows programs to share their community improvement ideas on a national stage to gain a wider network of support, publicity, and donations. At the end of the crowdfunding period, the Gannett Foundation will award grants ranging from $2,500 to $100,000 to selected organizations. Nonprofits are encouraged to apply between June 1 and June 30, 2021. Interested applicants can register for a virtual information session happening at 1 p.m. EDT on June 1 (that’s today, if you’re reading this in your inbox). Visit the A Community Thrives website to learn more.
