LISC Hampton Roads Small Grant/Sponsorship Application

Small Grant and Sponsorship Application

LISC Hampton Roads focuses its funding in three main areas in its efforts to create thriving communities: Affordable Housing, Small Business and Corridor Development, and Financial Stability. At LISC, we understand communities have varying needs and ways to reach the goal of being great places to live, work and play. Because of this, LISC invests in overlapping program areas that reach into every corner of community life. It’s important for us to partner with and fund various community activities, initiatives, and events as we seek to play a part in creating thriving communities.

LISC Hampton Roads encourages everyone to do their part in making the Hampton Roads region a great place to live. We offer support for these efforts in the form of grants and sponsorships of up to $5,000 in various areas of community development. Interested applicants can apply below.
