Last Update: September 26, 2026
Latest change: The Community Initiatives Fund now shows a fall intake window from September 1 to October 31, 2026, and the policy adds new application and eligibility rules.
Community Initiatives Fund intake and policy updated
The Community Initiatives Fund page now states that fall applications are open from September 1 to October 31, 2026, and it now includes a direct application link. The page also updates the advisory committee roster, with Jonathan Kraft replacing Brandon Brown. The newly available policy adds several substantive rules: applicants should generally direct at least 75% of funds generated by supported initiatives to community benefit, primarily for-profit initiatives and core operational funding are not eligible, and organizations with unmet reporting obligations are ineligible until they report or repay funds. It also limits applications to one per organization per intake, requires a detailed use-of-funds breakdown, and requires reporting within three months after the requested funds are spent.
