grants
LISC provides technical and financial resources to help community development organizations become strong and stable neighborhood institutions characterized by effective and responsible fiscal management and capable of carrying out a range of community revitalization activities. Through LISC local program offices, we provide grant funding to assist organizations developing affordable housing, commercial and retail space, and community facilities, as well as other community development activities. Grants are designed and provided consistent with local program office strategies and local community development needs. Grants have typically come in the form of:
- Organizational development grants that assist community organizations to improve administrative structures, management and financial systems, and real estate development and management capacities;
- Strategic planning grants to cover costs associated with the creation of new programs that are important to an organization's overall mission and meet the needs of the community's residents; and
- Project grants to help cover costs associated with real estate development that furthers neighborhood revitalization goals.
