Are you part of a nonprofit that is making life better for Eden Prairie residents? If so, consider applying for a 2026 Impact Grant from the Eden Prairie Community Foundation (EPCF).
Each year, the foundation awards grants — typically between $2,000 and $10,000 — to more than a dozen organizations that help Eden Prairie residents with food, housing and other social-service needs.
Grants are also awarded in areas such as recreation, environmental initiatives, mental health and education.
Applications are reviewed by a grants committee made up of community volunteers familiar with local needs. Their recommendations go to the foundation’s board of directors for approval.
Not all nonprofits qualify, so the first step for interested organizations is to review information on the foundation’s website, epcommunityfoundation.org. The site includes application details and an eligibility quiz to help groups determine whether they qualify.
Grants will be awarded following EP Gives, the foundation’s major annual event in April.
For more information, contact Mark A. Weber, interim executive director, at 952-949-8499 or mweber@epcommunityfoundation.org.
