$960k Awarded Through Grant Cycles in Fiscal Year 2022

The Community Foundation of Abilene and our donors awarded $960.1k through our competitive grant cycles during our 2022 fiscal year (July 2021-June 2022). We hold two discretionary grant cycles each year--one in the spring and one in the fall.

These grant opportunities are open to nonprofit organizations serving the Abilene community. Our Unrestricted fundholders make these grant cycles possible!

See the list of all grantees from the fall and spring discretionary cycles below. The graph shows unrestricted grant allocation by category, and the numbers reflect all unrestricted grants, including discretionary cycles and out-of-cycle unrestricted grants.
