TCF Grant Application 2026

Tustin Community Foundation
2026 Annual Community Grant Application

Dear Applicant,

Thank you for applying for the 2026 TCF Community Grant. This year, the maximum grant award is $2,500. Please note that grant applications are due by 5:00 PM on September 30, 2026..

The TCF Grant Committee, composed of diligent and experienced members, will review and score all applications. Their recommendations will be presented to the Board of Directors. You will be notified by November 1, 2026, if you have been selected to receive a grant. Grant checks will be distributed at the Mayor's Thanksgiving Breakfast on November 19, 2026.

When completing the application, please focus on brevity, as there is a character limit for certain answers. This limit is specified in the questions where applicable. Be concise so that we can effectively evaluate your application.

All questions must be completed for your application to be accepted. Only organizations with annual revenues under $1.5 million are eligible to apply.

You can find the application guidelines, procedures, areas of interest, and types of grants we do not fund at Tustin Community Foundation Grants. Grant funds should aim to make a meaningful difference in the Tustin community by addressing current or emerging needs. A strong request will show a broad or lasting influence in one or more of our target areas outlined in the Guidelines. Please demonstrate how the funds will create both immediate benefits and/or long-term value. Our goal is to make a difference whether your nonprofit is large or small so it is important to clearly show the significance and sustainability of your proposal.

We invite you to attend our Thanksgiving Breakfast on Thursday, November 19, at the Tustin Ranch Salvation Army Church, where we will present the grants. Grant recipients will receive one complimentary breakfast ticket, and additional tickets can be purchased on our website in late September.

Thank you for the important work you do in our community.
