Thank you for your interest in The Brave Heart Foundation! Before submitting your application, please be sure to review the following key information about the types of projects we fund, award availability, applications requirements, and more.
Every year, we assist and support programs dedicated to serving underserved populations and those helping to make a difference in our community.
We primarily fund organizations and projects in Indiana with an emphasis on three key areas:
- Education
- Health & Wellness
- Grass Roots Community Action Programs and Service
Funding Cycles
Grants are awarded in two cycles annually.
Applications will only be accepted the month before the request deadline.
- April 1 for Spring funding
- Requests only accepted between March 1-30.
- October 1 for Fall funding
- Requests only accepted between September 1-30.
Grant Awards
Grant awards may range up to $5,000. Agencies with an annual budget more than $1-2 Million are not typically funded. Our mission is to help as many programs as possible. Requests above $5,000 that do not have previous approval for submission will NOT be considered.
Our Foundation requests that our funding go towards program purposes and not for solicitations or fundraising purposes.
Requests
Requests for increased funding are only accepted from those agencies who have previously received a grant from The Brave Heart Foundation and who provided the required Impact Report following receipt of grant. Requests should use the primary grant application and should only be submitted one time per year.
Submission
All grants should be submitted through the online application form, helping us to reduce paperwork and remain green. Though digital, we request you be mindful of application length, striving to keep it at the equivalent of approximately 3 pages.
