The Community Foundation seeks to invest in projects and programs that address the core issues facing our community or that will allow Monroe County to take advantage of its most compelling opportunities. Given our focus on the long term success of Monroe County, the Community Impact Funding Initiative supports programs or projects that offer the potential for lasting change. Grants are judged on a number of criteria and are expected to focus on solutions rather than symptoms. Innovation, collaboration, and sustainability are the highest priorities in grant evaluation.

Through the Better Together – Creative Places Initiative, the Community Foundation of Bloomington and Monroe County (CFBMC) is seeking to build upon the maker mindset, so prevalent in our county, to activate or create public spaces that advance a more vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive community.
