Arkansas Community Foundation helps nonprofit organizations connect resources to create positive change in our state. Your organization can apply for funding through one of our competitive grant programs.

We engage people to create awareness about the specific local needs of Arkansas’s communities and partner with individuals, families, corporations and nonprofit organizations to make a difference through philanthropy.

Bridge Fund Grants Support Arkansas History Instruction
How can you make Arkansas history fun for students, and why does it even matter if kids learn about our state's past? Through our Bridge Fund, we're able to support a variety of innovative programs that build a bridge between Arkansas's past and future, including a new play called Digging Up Arkansas that takes elementary school children on a journey through 400 years of Arkansas history.
