Montgomery County grants. Found and managed.
A guide to Montgomery County’s community, health and county funders, from Norristown to the North Penn and Pottstown areas.
Grants for Montgomery County nonprofits.
Montgomery County reaches from the Philadelphia city line and the Main Line suburbs to the North Penn region and the Pottstown area. Norristown, the county seat, sits on the Schuylkill River, and nonprofits serve dense older boroughs, large suburban townships and rural communities in the upper county.
Two of the county’s health funders have roots worth knowing. HealthSpark Foundation was created from the sale of North Penn Hospital and now funds advocacy, community power and housing justice countywide. The Pottstown Regional Community Foundation, which began as the Pottstown Area Health & Wellness Foundation, serves a ten-mile radius around Pottstown that also reaches into Chester and Berks counties.
Public funds run through the Office of Housing and Community Development, part of the county’s Department of Health and Human Services, which posts CDBG, HOME, Emergency Solutions Grants and Homeless Assistance Program opportunities. Pursuit can hold these county applications in the same pipeline as foundation and federal work.
