The grant program from Huntington aims to support organizations that operate within its footprint and possess IRS tax-exempt status (501c3 or 170c1). The grant's primary focus is on community revitalization and stabilization, particularly in low- or moderate income areas, including supporting business retention, job creation, and community redevelopment. It also aims at enhancing community services for low- and moderate-income individuals through financial empowerment, food security, digital inclusion, youth programs, housing solutions, domestic violence shelters, and addiction recovery centers. Additionally, it focuses on providing access to affordable housing through various support mechanisms and stimulating economic and community development by aiding low- and moderate-income individuals, families, small businesses, and farms with capital access, job training, and permanent job creation or retention. The program places a significant emphasis on supporting racial and social equity programs dedicated to fairness, justice, and equality.
