Community Grant
Free Community Grant Info Session
Local nonprofits and community groups are invited to attend this free event
on Wednesday, January 8, 2026

The Windham Endowment for Community Advancement's competitive Community Grant
program makes grants available to Windham-based nonprofits, Town of Windham
committees or commissions, and the Windham School District. The program funds
projects that respond to local needs, strengthen community connections, and
improve the well-being of our residents. In 2026, $3,000 in total grant funding
will be available.
Through the Community Grant, the Windham Endowment seeks to deepen its
partnerships with other nonprofits, broaden the collective impact in the
community, and increase the reach of its funding programs.
