Eagan Foundation Accepting Community Grant Applications

The Eagan Foundation is now accepting grant proposals from nonprofit organizations looking to fund Eagan-based initiatives. 

Eligible organizations should be based in Eagan and serve Eagan residents, according to a statement from the Eagan Foundation. 

Grants awarded in the past were typically $1,000 or less, but the foundation encourages organizations to specify the request needed in a detailed grant proposal. 

"This is a cause in which our organization strongly believes and focuses its efforts,” Jon Hohenstein, chair of the community grants committee, said in a news release.

Applications are due by Jan. 24. Mail applications to: Eagan Foundation, Inc., c/o Community Grants Committee, P.O. Box 211192, Eagan, MN 55121.

The Eagan Foundations will announce awards in February. Find the grant application at: www.eaganfoundation.org. Email admin@eaganfoundation.org for more information.

The Eagan Foundation is a nonprofit organization that seeks to "make Eagan the best place to live, work and play." The organization has raised or reinvested $1,024,000 in the community since its founding in 1990.

Fundraising events that support the Eagan Foundation include A Taste of the Eagan Foundation and Eagan Has Talent. The talent show also supports Eagan High School's Muse Literary Arts program.
