Funding opportunities for nonprofits

Do you have a new idea that encourages positive change, inspires collaboration, and will impact communities? Maybe we can help. Since 2014, local government and nonprofit organizations have used more than $16.3 million in funding to positively impact central Minnesota communities.

These programs are limited to 501(c)(3) nonprofit members in Sourcewell's five-county service area.
