Humboldt Area Foundation administers a variety of grant programs.
Please select a program below to learn more and to find out how to apply:
Community Building Grant Program
Humboldt Area Foundation’s Community Building Grant Program supports a broad spectrum of projects that help build strong communities on the North Coast. The program seeks proposals for projects that utilize a community’s assets and resources, improve the community’s ability to meet future challenges, and have a lasting beneficial impact within the community. Awards are generally in the $2,000 to $10,000 range, but applications for larger amounts are accepted after consultation with the HAF Program Officer. Application deadlines are June 1 and December 1 and applicants will be notified in mid-August (for the June cycle) and mid-February (for the December cycle).
Community Response Grant Program
Humboldt Area Foundation’s Community Response Grant Program is designed to respond to urgent, unexpected or one-time needs where a small investment can make a lasting difference to our community. This grant program should not be viewed as an ongoing or yearly source of support. If your project requires future support, be sure you are developing sources of future funding. Repeat applications for the same project are seldom funded. The program makes awards that are $2,000 or less. Applications are accepted on the first of each month and applicants will be notified in three to four weeks.
Field of Interest Grant Program
Humboldt Area Foundation’s Field of Interest Grant Program was created to connect donors with community projects in their specific areas of interest. The program brings together into one grant cycle a collection of funds that focus on specific populations, geographical areas and/or causes.
Humboldt Area Foundation has merged the Field of Interest Grant Program with the Community Building Grant Program.

Native Cultures Fund
Initiated and led by Native Peoples, the Native Culture Fund supports Native arts, cultural revitalization and cultural transmission between generations. Grants and regional gatherings focus on methods of building greater cultural participation in communities. The service area includes northern and central California.
Community Partnerships with Native Artists (CPNA)
This initiative, funded in partnership with the Ford Foundation, will support community partnerships with native artists that produce art of outstanding quality and cultural significance while engaging communities in a process of healing. NCF defines healing as the renewal of traditional relationships with a tribe, across tribes, across cultures and with the land. It is not therapy nor designed to achieve the health goal of the individual but rather builds community relationships in a social ceremony addressing areas of community healing in a meaningful way.

Small grants are awarded to agencies to expand and enrich summer recreation programs operating between June and September.

Separate Summer Youth Grant Programs are available in Humboldt, Del Norte, Curry and Trinity Counties. The application deadline for Del Norte and Curry Counties is April 1, for Humboldt County is April 15, and for Trinity County is April 1. Grant Awards are announced by May 31.
