ECF grant programs advance our mission of helping Evanston thrive as a vibrant, inclusive, and equitable community. During 2020 and early 2021 ECF's grantmaking focused entirely on COVID relief and recovery. Beginning in May 2021 two new grants opportunities launched — Nonprofit Growth & Sustainability Grants and E-Town Innovation Grants. Please check back for dates for upcoming cohort grants programs, including root2fruit and Building the Future!.
