SRCCF Community, Art and Women Inspired Network Grants are open to programs and projects that focus on our community in just about every imaginable field.
The Art Grants are specific, of course, to the Arts field and the Women Inspired Network Grants are focused on programs and services that enhance and empower the lives of women and children. Community Grants may be submitted for those programs and projects having significant impact on the quality of life throughout Starved Rock Country and beyond.
Grant applicants will be notified of the outcome of their grant request within 30 days of the end
of the Grant Review Session. Those organizations awarded grants will be sent a Grant Award
Notice along with the check in the amount of the grant. By accepting the check, the recipient
agrees to abide by the terms of the Grant, without exception. Failure to do so will result in a
pay-back situation.
Community Grants may be submitted year-round and are reviewed and awarded quarterly. There is a maximum of $1500 per grant.
Art Grants can be submitted twice each year. Grants generally range from $250 to $3000+. There is a 25% cash match required. The amount we have to offer in each grant season varies, and depends on the funding we receive from other sources such as the National Endowment for the Arts and the Illinois Arts Council.
The Women Inspired Network (WIN) Grant is available once each year. Applications are accepted in September and the grant is awarded in November at the annual WIN Gala.
We are pleased to partner with non-profit organizations, schools, libraries, and other charitable community groups who support the Ottawa community

We regret that not all projects can be funded. A denial should not be viewed as a negative reflection on an organization or program, but rather a result of the number of applications received and the amount of funding available.
