The Mohall Area Community Foundation is actively seeking applications to establish a streamlined process for receiving donations and distributing grants. This initiative aims to benefit various projects and nonprofit organizations within the Mohall area, aligning directly with the Foundation's mission to foster community growth and support local endeavors. As an affiliate of the North Dakota Community Foundation, a recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit, the Mohall Area Community Foundation is committed to upholding rigorous standards of philanthropic practice and ensuring that its grant-making activities contribute meaningfully to the community's well-being.

The primary impact goal is to strengthen the Mohall community by supporting organizations that provide essential services and implement beneficial projects. Grants to religious organizations are specifically limited to non-denominational activities that serve the entire community, ensuring inclusivity and broad-based positive impact. The Foundation's priorities and focuses for funding decisions are centered on several key areas. These include assessing the organizational management and integrity of applicants, evaluating the level of local involvement and support for proposed projects, considering the number of people who will be served by the grant, and anticipating the overall impact of the grant on the project's success. These criteria ensure that funding is directed towards well-managed organizations with strong community ties and projects that promise significant positive outcomes. Expected outcomes and measurable results, while not explicitly detailed with specific metrics, are implied through the consideration criteria. The Foundation anticipates that grants will lead to improved organizational capacity, increased community engagement, broader reach of services, and successful project implementation that benefits the residents of Mohall.

Our grantees work to build on the entrepreneurial spirit, strong community ties, and untapped potential within Native nations, communities of color, rural communities, and other resilient communities who have fewer opportunities to thrive on their own terms. We envision strong, vibrant communities where people are connected to good jobs and have the financial capability to build their assets and provide a secure future for their families and communities. A Need to Close the Opportunity Gaps Our economic system doesn’t work for everyone. It widens income and opportunity gaps, restrains economic mobility, and traps people and communities in a cycle of poverty and injustice. A disproportionate number of Native Americans, people of color, refugees, immigrants, and rural Americans are living in crisis—or just a paycheck away from it. Nationally, six in 10 families of color don’t have the cash on hand to cover basic expenses—like rent, medical emergencies, or the need to fix a car—for three months.
