Established in 1990, the Fund for Reno County serves as a permanent resource for the changing needs of Reno County.

Projects should align with the following categories and purposes and maximum requests.
- Community & Economic Development – Projects and plans that strengthen the community and local economy by building a diverse and resilient workforce, activating central business districts or downtowns, supporting existing businesses, attracting new ones, and encouraging entrepreneurs; also, projects that strengthen the quality of place in Reno County through placemaking in public spaces and improving housing quality and accessibility. Maximum request of $50,000.
- Strong Organizations – Projects that strengthen the capacity, sustainability and resilience of Reno County community-based organizations. Maximum request of $7,500.
Proposals must come from 501(c)(3) organizations that serve Reno County. Individuals or groups that do not have a 501(c)(3) designation must obtain a nonprofit fiscal sponsor.
