Application info
Annually, Chrysalis provides grant funds to nonprofit organizations whose work aligns with the Chrysalis mission and services impact mostly girls and women in the three-county area of Polk, Warren, and Dallas Counties.
- Community Partner Grants provide core support to the organizations delivering our mission. Community Partner Grant recipients are also eligible for a Client Emergency Fund which provides a resource for simple client needs such as bus passes, uniforms for a job, or fees for a class.
- Rapid Response Grants offer funding for immediate - sometimes critical - needs that may hinder the day-to-day work of local agencies. All local non-profit organizations are eligible to apply for Rapid Response Grants.
