Ways to Give
Donations big and small all make a tremendous impact in our community. The Greater Alliance Foundation offers several entry points for donors and up-and-coming philanthropists to begin putting their hard-earned dollars to work for the betterment off the Alliance Community.
Apply for a Grant or Scholarship
At the Greater Alliance Foundation, we deeply appreciate our donors’ generosity, which allows us to support local nonprofit organizations and foster educational aspirations through scholarships. We review applications for grant funding requests three times a year and scholarships according to scholarship guidelines to ensure that our support has a meaningful impact on both nonprofits and individuals striving for academic excellence in our community.
Nearly 80 nonprofit professionals came together for our 2026 Professional Development Day, a full-day learning experience focused on strengthening leadership and building capacity across the greater Alliance community.
Hosted by the Greater Alliance Foundation and the University of Mount Union Regula Center at The Alliance Commons, the event brought regional experts and local organizations together to share practical strategies in leadership, fundraising, communications, governance, and community impact.
Now in its fifth year, Professional Development Day continues to invest in what matters most...people. When leaders grow, our entire community benefits.

Impact doesn’t happen once a year, it happens 365 days a year.
Our 365 initiative is designed to create consistent, sustainable support for the work happening across our community every single day.
Steady generosity fuels steady progress. Because our community’s needs and opportunities don’t operate on a calendar.
Join us this year and see how $1 a day can make a difference: GreaterAllianceFoundation.org/give-alliance-365
