4. [NEW] The Game On-Community Places to Play Initiative - For Community-Based Nonprofits
This initiative provides funding and technical assistance to community-rooted organizations working to create and renovate multi-use youth sport spaces in under-resourced communities across the country. The goal is to improve the quality, safety, and accessibility of local athletic spaces for young people. Grant awards will range from $50,000 to $100,000 and will require 1:1 match funding. Funds will be awarded to indoor and outdoor facilities that enable and demonstrate local community access to and use of all organized youth sports, including, but not limited to, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, football, tennis, lacrosse, and volleyball. Non-profit, community-based organizations leading renovation projects in low- to moderate-income communities across the United States are eligible to apply.
Deadline: August 15, 2026
5. [NEW] The 2026 Innovation Project Grants - For Nonprofits
This opportunity is for literary arts nonprofits to pursue new, one-time, and forward-thinking projects that address critical infrastructural/structural challenges that, if improved or solved, would ultimately strengthen their ability to serve creative writers. Proposed projects, which may be collaborative, should align with this description and goal and have impact beyond the project timeline.
With a short timeline, the fund’s grantmaking has a strategic focus on the areas of the literary arts ecosystem where it determined it could have the greatest impact—that is: supporting independent U.S.-based literary arts nonprofits whose primary mission is directly serving adult writers of creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, and hybrid works in making their artistic work and sharing it with readers. Funding ranges from $25,000 to $100,000.
Deadline: August 17, 2026
