Building Healthy Communities Grant Program
Grants, up to $2,500, are now available to registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations, public schools or tax-exempt public service agencies in the U.S. who are using the power of volunteers to improve the physical health of their community. Grants are made in the form of The Home Depot gift cards for the purchase or tools or materials.
Only grants submitted through the online application process will be considered for funding. All unsolicited donation requests received via mail, phone or e-mail will be referred to this online grant program.
Grants are highly competitive and there are three grant cycles planned for 2010:
| Opens | Closes | Notifications Made | |
| First Cycle | January 15, 2010 | March 1, 2010 | April 1, 2010 |
| Second Cycle | May 15, 2010 | July 1, 2010 | August 1, 2010 |
| Third Cycle | September 15, 2010 | November 1, 2010 | December 1, 2010 |
All applicants are required to pass an eligibility quiz before applying. Organizations that pass will be considered, but not guaranteed a grant. The Home Depot Foundation receives many worthwhile requests and can not accommodate all of them. Many times, requests that pass the eligibility test and fall within the stated guidelines are not funded.
Once grant applications are reviewed and approved, all applicants will be contacted within the timeframe set forth above. Please do not contact your local store or Customer Care to inquire about the status of your application. Should you have any questions about this grant program, please e-mail us.
