How it works

Organizations that provide valuable services to the community may receive grant funding in accordance with the following guidelines. This practice is permitted by Section 85-13 of the Township Code. 60 ILCS 1/85-13. This section permits townships to contract with such organizations to provide services not already rendered by the township. Read the 2025-2026 Application for Grant Funding for more details.
