About the Blue & You Grant Cycles
Mini Grants
The mini grants are $1,000 – $2,000 grants that focus on food security, emergency response equipment such as AEDs, Narcan and Stop the Bleed Kits and health initiatives that will positively impact a school, college or university. Applicants are only able to apply for one category.
2024 Mini Grants open January 1 and will be evaluated on a rolling basis. The applications will be approved based on the need and quality of the requests.
In 2023 we awarded 209 mini grants worth over $385,200 to community-based organizations across the state.
