Eckblad Williams Community Fund Grant – Fall

About this program

The Central Minnesota Community Foundation’s Eckblad Williams Community Fund provides fall grants of $100–$900 for projects that enrich opportunities for students in ISD 742 orchestra programs, particularly initiatives benefiting students who might not otherwise have access. Eligible uses may include student travel or summer-learning support, teacher professional development, instrument repair, supplemental music, guest artists, and orchestra field trips, provided funds supplement rather than replace existing resources. Applications must be submitted by October 15, 2026, in person or by mail, and grants are awarded only to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations; individuals and requests for facilities, completed projects, multi-year support, or solely staff travel are generally ineligible.
