2023-2024 empowerment grant

SPRING 2024 UPDATE:

The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) has been the primary source of funding for this program. As a result of expiring funds, the Empowerment Grants program will conclude with our current funding period. As intended by ARPA funds, this program helped close a gap of services that Columbus families and youth experienced as a result of the COVID-19 health pandemic.

Franklinton Development Association was honored to consider funding programs that served the following zip codes: 43222, 43223, 43204, and 43228. Applications for 2023-2024 Empowerment Grant closed August 18, 2023. We have notified applicants that applied for the second round in mid-September 2023.

If your organization does not work on the westside of Columbus, please reach out to one of the other partner agencies listed below.
