Date: 03-03-26

STATESVILLE, N.C. – The Iredell County Community Foundation is currently accepting applications for its 2026 grant program. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, congregations, governmental and educational institutions.

Priority will be given to requests for projects and programs that address education, mental health and human services. All projects or programs must serve residents of Iredell County.

The Foundation will prioritize proposals requesting one-time funding to initiate projects and programs and will consider grant requests enabling the grantee to seek support from other funders. The most competitive proposals will clearly demonstrate collaboration and partnership with other organizations to increase impact and identify how funding will be sustained in future years.

Award amounts will be determined based on the merits of the project and the Foundation’s available funds. The Foundation generally awards grants up to $20,000, but it will consider larger requests for exceptional applications that would impact residents of Iredell County.

To begin the application process, visit fftcgrants.communityforce.com and select “Iredell County Community Foundation” to access the online application.
