Community Grant Program
About the Program
The Community Grant Program is divided into two types of grants: Project Assistance Grants and Matching Grants.
Project Assistance Grants
In 2023, the Williams County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) is pleased to make a total of $800,000 in Project Assistance Grants available through its Community Grant Program. A maximum of $800,000 is available across two grant funding cycles for the purpose of financially assisting community projects that have a public purpose and aim to improve quality of life, preserve historic sites, buildings or artifacts, fulfill an essential community need (e.g., daycare, recreation), and enhance community programming in Williams County.

A maximum of $200,000 is available for the purpose of financially assisting community projects that require a match of funds to fulfill the requirements of a different grant program administered by a federal, state, or local government organization, or other entity.
