To be eligible, non-profits must be registered with the IRS as a 501c3. They must be located in and serve the Hilliard community and must submit all paperwork required as part of the process by Aug. 31.

Applications will be considered as part of the City’s annual operating budget. This is a competitive process, and application does not guarantee funding will be allocated by Council.

To be considered for funding, applications must meet one of the following goals:

  • Be activities and/or events that appeal to a broad segment of Hilliard residents.

These funds are invested back into the community through designated activities and events that enhance and directly benefit the City of Hilliard and its residents. Please note this is a competitive application process and submission of an application does not guarantee funding.
