WE INVEST IN NONPROFITS

North Lee Community Foundation invests in local nonprofit organizations that contribute to improving the quality of life in our communities. Our grants support innovation, sustainability and capacity building.

​

North Lee Community Foundation Grants are given from a combination of donations given to North Lee Community Foundation from generous donors and annual fund distributions from the Hellman Lee County Impact Grant Fund and the Kowzan / Sandrock Grant Fund. 

​

​Grant Lifestyle Manager (GLM) by Foundant is our online grant management portal. In GLM, you can submit online applications, check the status of applications, review grant histories, and submit final reports. All users will need to create a new account in the new system.

​

The North Community Foundation requires a completed grant report after a grant award period has been completed. The deadline to submit a 2025 Keokuk Area Community Foundation Grant Report is August 1, 2026. Click on the green button to start the online Grant Report. The Keokuk Area Community Foundation has three goals related to grant reports. First, we are eager to read the story of the funded grant. Second, we want both the community foundation and the nonprofit organization to learn from the story, because we believe that evaluation at its best informs learning and drives improvement.
