Microgrant Programs are pretty common. From honorable initiatives that help people rise out of poverty to financing that helps non-profit organizations achieve their goals, the benefits are many. Some are detailed in the University of Kansas' Community Toolbox:

They inspire creative and innovative thinking.

They are an excellent way to reach "hard to reach" or "yet to be reached" people, because they are awarded to groups (like parent teacher associations, scouts, neighborhood organizations) that have access to many more citizens than traditional health and human service organizations.

Many grass-roots groups are not eligible for traditional grant funding. For example, they may not have federal tax-exempt status (a common grant requirement), or, they may not have another organization to act as a fiscal conduit for them. Thus, micro-grants give them a chance to get hold of resources that would otherwise go only to bigger fish.

The small amounts of money (the usual range being $400-$2000 per micro-grant) tend to discourage large agencies from applying, while encouraging smaller, innovative groups who might not otherwise respond.

Learn how micro-grants can engage citizens in creative community betterment efforts and generate accomplishments citizens can take pride in.
