Grants Available to Improve Arizona Communities
JP Morgan Chase is accepting applications for its Arizona Community
Builders program, which funds efforts aimed at improving communities
or helping individuals and families who face special challenges
achieve a better quality of life.
Nonprofit organizations may apply for either general operating
support (GOS) or project support (PS) grants. The funding can be
used to create self-sustaining low and moderate-income (LMI) communities
by developing their physical, economic, and social infrastructure.
This can include improvements in the areas of housing, hunger, human
services, and economic development.
Support programs or projects in the following areas will also be
considered: development and/or management of permanent housing,
rental or ownership that is affordable to LMI families and individuals;
creation or management of special-needs or emergency housing or
shelters; hunger-alleviation programs, such as food banks, food
pantries and soup kitchens; workforce development and employment
training; commercial and industrial redevelopment; micro-enterprise
and small business assistance organizations; childcare services,
including family childcare networks, the creation of new center-based
programs and policy advocacy; and domestic-violence prevention and
protection programs.
The deadline for applications is Sept. 30. Complete guidelines
are available on the JP Morgan Chase website.
