Eckblad Williams Community Fund Grant – Spring

About this program

The Central Minnesota Community Foundation’s Eckblad Williams Community Fund provides $100–$900 grants for projects that enrich educational opportunities in ISD 742 orchestra programs, particularly for students who might not otherwise have access. Eligible uses may include student travel scholarships, teacher professional development, instrument repair, summer lessons or camps, special performances, guest artists, and orchestra field trips. Applicants must be nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, and funds must supplement—not replace—existing resources; facility improvements, completed projects, multi-year requests, and individual applications are generally ineligible. Applications for the spring cycle are due by April 15, 2027, and must be submitted by mail or in person.
