The 2021 Theisen’s Home•Farm•Auto More For Your Community grant process, which helps provide for people’s basic needs across Iowa and parts of Wisconsin, is now open.
Supported by the Theisen’s charitable fund and through a partnership with the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, grants will be made available to organizations in all Theisen’s store communities. This year, an estimated $350,000 in total grants will be distributed to the region served by Theisen’s, with at least $5,000 available to each store community. The maximum request per project application is $5,000. To begin the grant process, go to dbqfoundation.org/theisens. The deadline to apply is August 31.
The More For Your Community program makes direct grants to organizations to jumpstart and/or sustain projects that most effectively and directly serve the basic needs of families and children: food, shelter, education, safety and health. Applicants must be 501(c)(3) nonprofits, government-sponsored organizations or school-sponsored organizations and directly serve children and families within 60 miles of a Theisen’s store.
Theisen’s has donated more than $2.7 million through the More For Your Community Grant program since its inception and supports many other community events and organizations directly.
For more information, contact Angie Wille at the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque by calling 563-588-2700 or via email at angie@dbqfoundation.org.
