Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry announced today that her administration is now accepting applications for a new round of Forward Together grants.
Mayor Terry created the initiative in 2024 to strengthen local nonprofit efforts aligned with the City’s priorities of neighborhood revitalization, public safety, and poverty reduction. This year, eligible nonprofit organizations may apply for up to $35,000 in funding to support programs in one or more of the following categories:
- Home Weatherization
- Food Access
- Services for people experiencing homelessness, and
- Literacy.
The application deadline is Friday, September 19, at 5:00 p.m., and application materials are now available on the City’s website at www.evansvillegov.org/forwardtogether. Completed applications should be submitted via email to Ariah Leary, Director of Community Affairs and Special Projects, at aleary@evansville.in.gov.
“In communities across Evansville, nonprofit organizations are on the front lines, offering hope, opportunity, and critical services to those who need them most,” Mayor Terry said. “The Forward Together grant program is about amplifying that work. By investing in initiatives like literacy and food access, and by supporting organizations doing essential work around homelessness and home weatherization, we’re taking real, tangible steps toward building a more equitable and thriving city.”
The Forward Together program is funded by interest earned from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds and reflects the City’s broader commitment to empowering grassroots solutions to systemic challenges.
All grant proposals will be reviewed by a volunteer committee before receiving final approval from the Mayor’s Office.
