Application Now Open for the Community and Non-Profit Grants 2025-2026

Joliet Township Government is pleased to announce that applications are now open for possible program funding through the Community and Non-Profit Grants.
 
Organizations providing valuable services to the community may be eligible to receive grant funding under the guidelines set forth by Section 85-13 of the Township Code (60 ILCS 1/85-13).
 
Applications will be accepted electronically, to apply please visit https://www.joliettownship.net/services/grant-application/. To ensure your application is complete, please carefully read the COMMUNITY & NON-PROFIT GRANT PROTOCOL and upload the signed acknowledgment page with your submission.
 
Note: Due to limited funding, organizations may only apply once per fiscal year. The fiscal year begins on April 1st and concludes on March 31st. It is the responsibility of the applicant to determine the best timing for their grant request.
 
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until all funds have been awarded. Once all grants have been distributed, we no longer accept applications for that fiscal year.
 
We look forward to supporting the growth and development of initiatives that align with Joliet Township Government’s vision for community well-being, development, and inclusivity.
 
If you have any questions, please contact us at 815-726-4781 or email acampa@joliettownship.net.

Community Grant 2024: K-9 for Veterans

This Veterans Day, we’re proud to highlight K9s For Veterans, NFP, a nonprofit that Joliet Township Government has awarded with a community grant.

This incredible organization supports veterans with PTSD, helping them transition to civilian life with trained service dogs—all of whom are rescues.

We’re honored to support their lifesaving mission, providing veterans with loyal companions and essential care. Thank you to all who have served!
