Lilly Endowment
Re-Grant Application

This grant application (and process) is different from the Traditional, Collaborative, and Impact grant applications as this opportunity has special criteria with more generous award amounts.

​

*2026/2027/2028: The ACCF / Lilly Re-Grant process will have multiple distributions with multiple due dates that follow the ACCF granting cycles (as funding allows):

Due dates: by 4:00pm, second Wednesdays in January, April, July, and October. 

 

The ACCF will determine how the grant process can best meet the growing requests of our community. With the support of Lilly Endowment Inc, the ACCF / Lilly Re-Grant process will allow for larger projects and programs serving Adams County residents. Grants may be awarded in various levels. The ACCF requests that the grant writer plans the request to meet a budget based on one of these distributions and provide receipts upon the completion of the grant.

 

Up to ...

• $50,000.

• $30,000.

• $20,000.

• $10,000.

 

Nonprofits will have 12-24-months to execute the grant (depending upon the award amount and grant request). Receipts for grant fund spending will be required after the program or project has been executed / completed.

 

 

ACCF / Lilly Re-Grant review committee will compare the competitive grant requests using these topics:

 

• Make an impact. Priority to innovative and new ideas, programs, projects.

• Have a measurable outcome.
