Grants
Our grants support a wide range of programs and organizations including education, conservation, arts and culture, workforce development, children and youth, efforts to end homelessness and hunger, assistance to the elderly, care for animals and many other causes. The Bensenville Community Foundation’s grant process seeks proposals from non-profit organizations that are based in Bensenville or from any organization with a project that has specific benefit to Bensenville residents. Grant applications vary from program to program and are posted when grants are available. We work closely with nonprofits and community leaders to identify unmet needs and fund initiatives to reach long-term solutions. |
