About this Event

SouthCoast Community Foundation (SCCF) is hosting a series of Information Sessions dedicated specifically to the 2026 Spring Grant Cycle.

As SCCF introduces its new Spring & Fall Grant Cycles, these sessions are designed to help nonprofits clearly understand how the Spring pilot cycle works and to provide dedicated time for questions related to eligibility, proposals, and the application process.

If you are considering applying this March, these sessions are the best opportunity to get direct guidance and clarity before the March 31, 2026 deadline.

We strongly encourage prospective Spring Grant Cycle applicants to attend so you can ask questions, gain clarity, and feel fully prepared to submit your proposal.
