Agile Grant Program

Knight Foundation Fund Grant Program is sponsored by Knight Foundation (administered through Community Foundation of Greater Fort Wayne, and similar community foundations in Knight cities). The Knight Foundation supports projects that align with their goals of engaged, inclusive, and equitable communities. This can include initiatives that help cities use digital technology to make decisions and promote economic opportunity through inclusive pathways to jobs and entrepreneurship, often involving digital skills. The fund is designed for specific projects, not operational support.

Lowe's Hometowns Grant Program is sponsored by Lowe's. This program aims to restore and revitalize community spaces across the country through physical renovations. Consumers can nominate a community space in their hometown, such as a neighborhood garden, park, or community center. While broad, it can apply to infrastructure improvements within a community context.
