Grant Review Process
Grant applications are accepted throughout the year but are reviewed semi-annually. Application deadlines are March 31 and September 30.
The Grant Review Committee reviews all applications. An interview in our office will be conducted with a representative from the applying organization to share info and answer questions regarding the application. At the Committee’s discretion, a site visit may be requested as part of the proposal evaluation process. The Executive Director will contact the requesting organization during the proposal analysis if the Board of Directors has any questions to be answered.

Help promote the Luverne Area Community Foundation

We ask that you promote the Foundation's support in any interview or publication your project may receive. We also ask that appropriate visual signage is attached to the project recognizing the foundations partnership with your organization and its project. This helps others connect with what the foundation can do for potential future projects. If we can help provide logos or graphics to make this possible, please ask us, we are happy to help!
