Kentucky G.R.A.N.T. Program of 2024

Grant Funding

Rolling

Applications details are now available for the Kentucky G.R.A.N.T. Program of 2024! One of the top barriers to federal grant funding reported by Kentucky communities is meeting cash match or cost-sharing requirements. For this reason, Grant Ready Kentucky and our partners championed Kentucky House Bill 9, which passed unanimously and was signed into law on April 7, 2023. The bill created the Government Resources Accelerating Needed Transformation Program (G.R.A.N.T. Program). In 2024, the KY General Assembly modified the G.R.A.N.T. program with HB 723 and expanded the funding pool to $200 million pool for local match awards. Applications will be accepted on a monthly rolling basis starting June 1, 2024.The G.R.A.N.T. Program of 2024 is administered by the Cabinet for Economic Development, and a dedicated website for application details, recorded webinars, and FAQs is available here: https://ced.ky.gov/GRANT

NACo - Counties for Housing Solutions

National Association of Counties

Technical Assistance

Housing is a key component of economic mobility yet Housing affordability continues to be a challenge for many residents. NACo’s Counties for Housing Solutions (C4HS) program provides free three-month technical assistance sprints to address this challenge. In partnership with Smart Growth America, NACo has designed these fast-paced sprints to be high-intensity and implementation-focused with solutions that draw upon recommendations made by NACo’s 2023 Housing Task Force.Applications are currently open for NACo's third sprint, which will provide free virtual technical assistance to help counties assess and update their zoning codes to increase affordable Housing development and overall Housing supply. Participating counties are expected to be on track to formally adopt an amendment to their zoning code at the conclusion of the sprint.

Charles H. Dater Foundation Grant

Private

Multiple

The Charles H. Dater Foundation was established in 1985 by fourth-generation Cincinnati businessman and philanthropist Charles H. Dater (1912-1993) to ensure that funding for worthwhile community programs that enrich the lives of children would continue after his death as well as to preserve the memory of the Dater family name. The $40-million Foundation is one of the largest private foundations in Greater Cincinnati and is governed by a five-person Board of Directors. The Foundation has no full-time staff and does not direct programs. Officers and directors take an active role in the organization's work, reviewing grant applications, making grant awards and evaluating results, and monitoring investments and the financial performance.The Foundation makes grants to private, non-profit organizations and public agencies in Greater Cincinnati for programs that benefit children in the region in the areas of arts/culture, education, healthcare, social services and other community needs. Greater Cincinnati is defined as the eight-county metropolitan area made up of the counties of Hamilton, Butler, Warren and Clermont in Ohio; Boone, Kenton and Campbell in Northern Kentucky; and Dearborn in Indiana. The Foundation does not make grants to individuals, for scholarships for individuals, for debt reduction, and, with rare exception, for capital fund projects.Grants are usually made for one year and subsequent grants for an extended or ongoing program are based on an evaluation of annual results. Multiple grants to an organization in the Foundation's same fiscal year (September through August) are possible, but rare. The Foundation looks favorably on applications that leverage a grant to seek additional funding and resources as well as an organization's effective use of volunteer resources. The Foundation's directors/officers regularly evaluate the grantmaking focus and priorities based on an assessment of current community needs and available resources.

TimingThe Grant Request/Application process requires a minimum of 30-60 days from the time an application is received until a grant request is approved or declined.
