2025-26 Grant Cycle

The Greater Cedarburg Foundation’s 2025-26 Grant Cycle will begin with a virtual information session on October 8th, 2025 at 10:30 AM. This will be an opportunity to learn more about the GCF Grant process and ask questions.

Please Register in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/iKSuQeQBQ6O69yn7YOj59Q#/registration

Following that meeting we will open the grant process by accepting Letters of Inquiry (LOI’s) with basic details about the proposed grant application starting October 13th with an October 31st deadline. The GCF Grant Committee will review those LOI’s and provide invitations for full grant applications to projects and organizations that are in keeping with GCF grant guidelines. Full applications open November 24th and close January 3rd, 2026. The GCF Board will approve grants in March 2026 and public announcements will occur at our Civic Event in spring of 2026.
