Appying for a Community Grant Starts Here

Community grants are available to schools, nonprofits, and organizations located within Pulaski County and surrounding counties that serve the Fort Leonard Wood region. 

All scholarship and grant applications must be submitted no later than March 15, 2026, by 11:59 PM CST.  Incomplete or late applications will not be reviewed. 

 Grants support initiatives that enhance the quality of life in our region, including:

• Educational programs
   
• Youth services
   
• Community enrichment
   
• Support for military families
   
• Local outreach initiatives

 Grant amounts vary based on available funds and applicant need. Organizations may request an amount that best fits their project, though funding is not guaranteed. 

Organizations may submit more than one request only if each project is distinct. Duplicate requests will not be considered. 

No. Schools, military-affiliated groups, and community organizations may apply, as long as they serve residents within Pulaski and surrounding counties. 

Yes. Grant recipients may be asked to provide follow-up reporting, photos, or documentation of project impact. These materials help FWCSC demonstrate community benefit to our members and donors. 

A volunteer committee reviews all completed applications and evaluates them based on:

• Eligibility
   
• Completeness
   
• Community impact
   
• Alignment with FWCSC’s mission
   
• Demonstrated need

Grant awards are typically announced in late spring, after all applications have been reviewed.
