Our Small Grant Program for Simple Projects

The goal of our ​Turn Key Project Grant Program is to make it easier for nonprofits to complete small scale construction projects – usually with only one trade - by offering resources and funding to help get them done quickly.  Most Turn Key Grants are limited to $7,500 and under and are designed to address simple maintenance or repair projects.

​For example - our first Turn Key project helped a nonprofit needing a simple flooring replacement in two of its apartments for formerly homeless women.  

As with all HBCF programs, eligible projects for a Turn Key Grant must be shelter-focused, serve vulnerable populations, and have local community support. 
​
Turn Key Project Funding is limited each calendar year and our goal is to commit to projects in a timely manner. Our Board of Directors expects to review your application within 30 days of its receipt. If approved, funds are available to be distributed once a project is ready to begin.
