EACF Uplifts

Non-profit organizations play a pivotal role in our area. Because of this, Ely Area Community Foundation (EACF) is committed to supporting local non-profits through grant opportunities.

These grants can help bolster organizations’ operational capacity, enable them to expand their outreach and impact, help them foster further innovation, enhance their program quality, facilitate deeper collaboration and much more.

Individuals, businesses, estates and other entities can donate or fundraise to support the establishment of an EACF grant.

Grants are open to non-profit organizations serving the cities of Ely, Tower, Winton, and Babbitt and the townships of Morse, Eagles Nest, Embarrass, Breitung, Fall Lake, and surrounding communities.
