The Erie Community Foundation aims to improve the quality of life for all in Erie County through community leadership, funding initiatives, and encouraging philanthropy. Together with the William & Ethel Hovis Fund, it focuses on supporting underserved communities by promoting well-being through outdoor activities, athletics, and educational programs.
The Shaping Tomorrow grant program supports nonprofit projects that enhance their capacity to serve the community, with grants ranging from $50,000 to $250,000. It prioritizes initiatives that address key indicators through data-driven approaches, solutions, and best practices. Projects should be inclusive, established, involve multiple partnerships, and demonstrate creative collaboration and sustainability strategies. While matching funds are not mandatory, the Foundation values strong financial planning and contributions to the decision-making process.
