Frequently Asked Questions
How does Missouri distribute Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding?
Missouri's DED administers CDBG funds from HUD for non-entitlement communities — those cities and counties that do not receive CDBG funding directly from the federal government. The state releases an annual Action Plan with public comment periods and competitive grant cycles. Funds support housing rehabilitation, public infrastructure, and economic development projects. The FY2026 Action Plan went through public comment in early 2026. Eligible municipalities and counties apply through periodic competitive cycles announced by DED.
What is the Missouri Neighborhood Assistance Program and how do organizations participate?
The Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) provides state tax credits to individuals and businesses that make contributions to approved community projects. Eligible project categories include job training, education, crime prevention, community services, and physical revitalization. Organizations submit project applications during annual cycles — FY27 Round 1 opens in March 2026 with applications due in May. Approved projects receive NAP tax credit allocations that they can offer to donors as incentives for contributions.
Are there Missouri grants specifically for nonprofit organizations?
Yes, the Missouri DED operates a Nonprofit Grant Program for Missouri-based organizations with 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(19) IRS tax-exempt status that primarily provide services to disadvantaged, vulnerable, or at-risk populations. Additional nonprofit funding comes through the ARPA-funded programs (over $320 million statewide), the Missouri Arts Council grants for cultural nonprofits, and various federal pass-through programs administered by state agencies including Health and Human Services.
What outdoor recreation and historic preservation grants does Missouri offer?
Missouri State Parks administers several key programs. The Historic Preservation Fund Grants Program opens annually with pre-applications typically due in February. The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) provides federally funded matching grants to cities, counties, and school districts for outdoor recreation projects with a required 50% match. The Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program offers grants from $300,000 to $15 million for park projects in underserved urban communities. The Bus Grant Program supports transportation to state parks.
Does Missouri offer grants for agricultural businesses and value-added products?
Yes, the MASBDA Value-Added Grant Program, administered by the Missouri Department of Agriculture, provides grants of up to $200,000 on a first-come, first-served basis to businesses that add value to Missouri agricultural products.
