NEW ULM — The New Ulm Area Foundation (NUAF) is accepting applications for grants as part of its spring grant cycle.

The deadline is March 15. Applicants are encouraged to submit their request online, using functionality recently added to the foundation’s website. This is now the preferred method for applying and helps streamline operations. Go to https://NewUlmAreaFoundation.org/how-to-apply-for-grants/.

New Ulm Area Foundation was established in 1987 to enhance the quality of life in our community. NUAF focuses its granting on four pillars: arts, education, economic development and historic preservation. Successful applications will document how they and their project/program will benefit the communities within the geographic area of Independent School District District 88. Additionally, the Board of Directors has indicated a desire to support COVID-19 relief programs and projects for this cycle, including support for non-profits that have not been able to conduct normal fundraisers.
