Grant Information

The Montgomery County Endowment Fund, working in partnership with the Red Oak Heritage Foundation, is here to help our community’s charitable projects and programs contribute to the quality of life in our area. One of the ways that is done is through grantmaking. Montgomery County Endowment Fund currently has two granting cycles each year - application deadlines are February 1, and September 1.

The Montgomery County Endowment Fund accepts grant applications from charitable projects and programs impacting a wide range of needs in the community- arts and culture, health, human services, community betterment, historic preservation, etc.

Successful applications will include the following components:
  • Respond to a demonstrated or emerging community need.
  • Support effective, proven or promising solutions.
  • Build upon and maximize other community resources.
  • Offer a clear plan for financial sustainability.
  • The MCEF, except under unusual circumstances, does not make grants for endowment campaigns, deficit financing, annual fund drives, or fundraising activities.
  • The MCEF gives less consideration to applications from tax supported organizations, individual churches and similar religious groups, veteran and labor organizations, social clubs, and fraternal organizations.
