Your ‘Great Idea’ Could Receive $10,000 from Stillwater Area Community Foundation
[STILLWATER, May 15, 2024] – Applications for Stillwater Area Community Foundation’s (SACF’s) Great Idea Grant are open now through June 30, 2024. Up to $10,000 in grant funding is available to support an idea, initiative, or project that benefits any or all communities of the Stillwater area, including Bayport, Bayport Township, Grant, Lake Elmo, Marine on St. Croix, May Township, Oak Park Heights, Stillwater, Stillwater Township, and West Lakeland Township.
Past Great Idea grants have supported installation of educational History Spots, restoration of Fairy Falls, Stillwater Stairs beautification, Stillwater Dog Park, grade school students’ learning adventure on the St. Croix River, teens participating in programs at Cimarron Community Farm, plus other projects focused on community, history, and art.
Guidelines for the Great Idea Grant are intentionally vague to encourage creativity. The selection committee considers whether the project enhances quality of life in the area, strengthens community connections, leaves a lasting impact, or builds community pride. A winning idea could make life more enjoyable for residents and visitors, address environmental concerns, help underserved citizens, attract visitors, or engage residents. The Great Idea recipient must develop and execute the idea, initiative, or project if selected.
