Community Development Corporation Grants 2026: 103 Funders
Quick Answer: If you're running a community development corporation (CDC), the place-based nonprofit that builds affordable housing, revives a commercial corridor or runs services for one neighborhood…
Full answer and how we checked it
If you're running a community development corporation (CDC), the place-based nonprofit that builds affordable housing, revives a commercial corridor or runs services for one neighborhood, grants for community development corporations come from government housing programs for bricks and from private foundations for nearly everything else. Grantsights analysis of 990-PF human-services grants pulled November 1, 2026 found 103 foundations that made 240 grants to community development corporations, totaling $45,044,183. The median gift was $30,000. New York (15 foundations), Texas (11) and California (10) lead, and California's free preview sample is the Pinpoint Foundation.
This guide is for executive directors, development staff and board members at neighborhood and community development corporations, including faith-based CDCs started by congregations. In this guide, CDC always means a community development corporation, never the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Data note: The counts come from a Grantsights search of 990-PF human-services grants, pulled November 1, 2026, for recipients or purposes naming community or neighborhood development corporations. Grantsights checked 40 matched recipients by hand, and all 40 fit: 39 were community or neighborhood development corporations and 1 was Enterprise Community Partners, a national intermediary that funds them. NeighborWorks affiliates and Neighborhood Housing Services groups were left out on purpose, and so were loan funds certified as Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). The statewide human-services table later in the guide comes from a separate Grantsights pull of all 990-PF human-services filings, dated October 29, 2026.

Community development source review, Grantsights, November 1, 2026: Grantsights checked the eCFR text of 24 CFR 92.2 (opens in a new tab), 24 CFR 92.300 (opens in a new tab), 24 CFR 92.208 (opens in a new tab) and 24 CFR 570.204 (opens in a new tab), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) page on the Community Economic Development program (opens in a new tab), and the CDFI Fund's certification page (opens in a new tab), against foundation filings that name community development corporations. Where official sources stop: no federal page tells a CDC how to pay its executive director between projects, which is where most foundation money lands.

4 Kinds of Community Development Corporations and What Funders Back
Grantsights sorted the 40 hand-checked recipients into 4 rough groups, from housing developers drawing $1,000,000 checks to service-first CDCs running a pantry on $20,000. Each needs its own pitch. This table is illustrative, not data: missions overlap and many CDCs do all 4 things.
| Kind of CDC | Example from the filings | Main costs | What funders respond to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Housing developer | LTSC Community Development Corporation (CA), Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation (HI) | Land, predevelopment, construction gaps | Unit counts, a closed financing stack, a site in hand |
| Neighborhood revitalization group | Fenway Community Development Corporation (MA), Main South Community Development Corp (MA) | Organizers, storefront programs, small business help | A defined area and visible change on a block |
| Service-first CDC | Harmony Community Development Corporation (TX), Corner Stone Community Development Corporation (CA) | Program staff, food, case management | People served and a budget for one program |
| Faith-based CDC | Amani Christian Community Development Corporation (PA), Oxford Circle Christian Community Development Association (PA) | A first project, a part-time director | A congregation's base and a separate board |
A service-first CDC shouldn't borrow a housing developer's case. Big housing gifts follow a site, a pro forma and a closing date. A 3-person CDC running an after-school program sells the 150 kids it reaches and the apartment complex they live in.
Grants for Community Development Corporations: What 990-PF Filings Show
Grantsights analysis of 990-PF human-services grants pulled November 1, 2026 found 103 foundations that made 240 grants to 124 community development corporations and intermediaries, totaling $45,044,183. According to IRS guidance on Form 990-PF (opens in a new tab), private foundations list their grants on that annual return, so every gift below ties back to a filing. Foundations matter to a CDC, but they're rarely the biggest funder of a building. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit equity, HOME and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars, bank loans, rents and developer fees usually carry a housing project.
The average works out to about $187,700 per grant, and it's misleading. According to the same November 1, 2026 pull, the median gift was $30,000, a quarter of the gifts were $10,000 or less, and 37 of the 240 were under $5,000. That median beats most human-services causes, since a CDC asks for project money, but a small CDC should still plan a first request in the $10,000 to $50,000 range.
Capital gifts that dominate the total
Ten gifts of $1,000,000 or more add up to $22,562,432, half of the national total, according to the same November 1, 2026 filings. The Walton Family Foundation's 7 gifts in Arkansas total $9,313,936 (about 21%), and Waimea Malama's 3 gifts to one Hawaii CDC total $7,670,432 (about 17%). Nearly all of the top is capital for housing.
| Funder | CDC or partner named | State | Grant amount | Purpose on the filing | Tax year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Walton Family Foundation | Northwest Arkansas Council Foundation | AR | $6,750,000 | Partnership with a nonprofit CDC and the "Big Emma" development team | 2023 |
| Waimea Malama | Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation | HI | $4,863,320, $1,500,000 and $1,307,112 | Ouli affordable housing development plan | 2023 and 2024 |
| Conrad N. Hilton Foundation | LTSC Community Development Corporation | CA | $2,142,000 | Housing preservation across the Los Angeles region | 2024 |
| John S. and James L. Knight Foundation | The Well Community Development Corporation | OH | $2,000,000 and $1,000,000 | 1 to 1 match of Akron's American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) money for a housing initiative | 2023 and 2024 |
| Longwood Foundation | Be Ready Community Development Corporation | DE | $1,000,000 | Housing initiatives | 2024 |
| Walton Family Foundation | Community Development Corp of Bentonville Bella Vista | AR | $800,000 | Seed fund for land acquisition for workforce housing | 2024 |
| Crankstart Foundation | Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation | CA | $750,000 and $600,000 | Expansion and housing retention (2024); Big Sites housing initiative (2023) | 2024 and 2023 |
| Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation | United Neighborhood Community Development Corporation | PA | $600,000 | Construction of affordable housing for older adults | 2024 |
The Walton Family Foundation also gave the Bentonville Bella Vista CDC a $664,555 land donation in Springdale in 2023 and $500,000 in 2024 for Town Green, an affordable housing development in Gentry. Those gifts went to a regional housing push in the funder's home region. A CDC 1,000 miles away has no path to that money, so don't build a prospect list from the top of this table.
Program money is the realistic door
Many of the smaller gifts pay CDCs to run services, not to build. According to the 990-PF filings Grantsights checked, the Hillcrest Foundation gave Dallas's Harmony Community Development Corporation and T R Hoover Community Development Corporation $20,000 each in 2023 to buy food, clothing and essential items. One organization in Arizona, Rehoboth Community Development Corporation in Phoenix, received $75,000 in both 2023 and 2024 from the Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust for out-of-school activities for 150 youth living in 2 affordable housing units, as the filing puts it. The Burton D. Morgan Foundation gave Akron's Well CDC $87,000 a year in 2023 and 2024 for Akron Food Works.
That's the opinion this data supports: a young CDC should lead with one funded program while it builds a development track record. Program grants pay salaries, prove you can report on results and open a door to the same funder's capital money later.

Community Development Corporation Grants by State
20 states had 3 or more foundations giving to CDCs in the November 1, 2026 pull. Count by the state where the CDC sits, and read every big total with care.
| State | CDC funders | CDC grants | CDC total |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York | 15 | 31 | $6,826,058 |
| Texas | 11 | 21 | $1,200,840 |
| California | 10 | 20 | $5,128,725 |
| Massachusetts | 8 | 19 | $432,572 |
| Ohio | 8 | 11 | $3,264,000 |
| Pennsylvania | 7 | 12 | $1,262,500 |
| New Jersey | 6 | 10 | $268,500 |
| Oregon | 5 | 16 | $796,100 |
| Virginia | 5 | 6 | $1,685,711 |
| North Carolina | 5 | 5 | $375,000 |
New York's lead is mostly national money passing through. Among the 100 largest gifts, 18 went to the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) at its New York address, totaling $6,410,533, about 94% of the state's total. LISC is an intermediary that lends to and trains local CDCs across the country, so a Brooklyn CDC shouldn't read that figure as local demand. Ohio is similar: Knight's 2 gifts to The Well are about 92% of its $3,264,000.
Smaller states tell a more useful story. Massachusetts's free preview sample, the Berkshire Bank Foundation, says it takes requests and lists deadlines and limits. It gave Revitalize Community Development Corp $14,286 in 2023 toward a new facility for housing and health work, and gave Fenway Community Development Corporation and Main South Community Development Corp $10,000 each in 2024. In Oregon, Meyer Memorial Trust gave Hacienda Community Development Corporation $100,000 in 2023 for housing and community development, ROSE Community Development Corporation $91,100 to build capacity for larger projects in East Multnomah County, and Sabin Community Development Corporation $50,000 in general operating support. In Pennsylvania, the William Penn Foundation gave New Kensington Community Development Corporation $100,000 in both 2022 and 2023 for housing services in Kensington.
In Virginia, the PATH Foundation gave Culpeper Community Development Corporation $415,000 and $235,000 in 2023 to build low-income housing. In North Carolina, the TD Charitable Foundation gave Cleveland County Community Development Corporation in Shelby $200,000 in 2024 for housing stability, and the Cannon Foundation gave Brick Capital Community Development Corporation in Sanford $75,000 in 2023 for a supportive housing complex.
California's community development funders
California's 10 foundations made 20 human-services grants to CDCs worth $5,128,725, according to the November 1, 2026 pull. The Hilton gift to LTSC is about 42% of that, and Crankstart's 3 gifts to Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation, $1,650,000 in all, add about 32% more. The California Endowment gave City Heights Community Development Corporation in San Diego $250,000 and $200,000 in 2023 for general operating support, and the Ralph M. Parsons Foundation gave LTSC $100,000 in 2024, spread over 2 years, to build community spaces inside an affordable housing project.
Pinpoint Foundation is California's free preview sample on the Grantsights human-services funder list, and its filings say it takes requests and list what to send and a contact. It gave Corner Stone Community Development Corporation, which also goes by Building Futures, in San Leandro $20,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024 for domestic violence programs. That's a CDC funded for a service line, not a building, and it's the most common shape of a first foundation gift.
Why the Human Services List for Community Development Corporations
Human services is where tagged CDC money sits. In a wider November 1, 2026 search, gifts to CDCs that carried a cause tag landed mostly under human services, filed as housing and basic needs, with education and community causes trailing well behind. That wider search wasn't hand-checked, so treat it as a direction.
| State | Human-services grants on file | Foundations giving | Say they take requests | Typical human-services grant |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New York | 14,060 | 3,877 | 868 | $5,000 |
| California | 19,089 | 4,681 | 994 | $6,500 |
| Texas | 13,110 | 2,798 | 895 | $7,000 |
| Massachusetts | 9,463 | 2,116 | 621 | $5,000 |
| Pennsylvania | 9,219 | 1,871 | 638 | $5,000 |
| Ohio | 6,935 | 1,464 | 558 | $5,000 |
In these 6 states the typical human-services gift runs $5,000 to $7,000, according to Grantsights analysis of 990-PF human-services filings pulled October 29, 2026. That's well below the $30,000 CDC median, because most of those funders write small checks to pantries and shelters. Between 21% (California) and 38% (Ohio) of them say they take requests. A CDC that runs a food, youth or housing-stability program can approach many of them on that program alone. The human-services list for one state costs $29, a $99 plan covers every cause in every state for a full year, and a refund on either is available for 30 days after purchase.
What HUD Doesn't Tell You About CDC Funding
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) writes the rules for the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) and CDBG, 2 block grants that can reach CDCs, but the money flows through your city, county or state. Read the regulations next to the filings and 6 lessons come out.
- The CHDO set-aside is real money, and it's local. According to HUD's rule at 24 CFR 92.300 (opens in a new tab), each participating jurisdiction must reserve not less than 15% of its HOME allocation for housing owned, developed or sponsored by community housing development organizations (CHDOs). The jurisdiction certifies the CHDO and has to document its capacity every time it commits funds, so a CDC applies to its city or state housing office, not to HUD.
- CHDO status asks for a specific board. According to the definition in 24 CFR 92.2 (opens in a new tab), at least one-third of the board must be low-income residents, beneficiaries or their designated representatives, and government officials or appointees can hold no more than one-third of the seats. The CDC needs paid staff with housing development experience and, in general, 1 year of serving the community. A new group formed by local churches can count its parent's year.
- HOME can pay a CHDO's overhead, with a ceiling. According to 24 CFR 92.208 (opens in a new tab), up to 5% of a jurisdiction's HOME allocation may go to CHDO operating costs such as salaries, rent, utilities and insurance. Section 92.300(f) caps a CHDO's HOME money in any fiscal year at $50,000 or 50% of its total operating expenses, whichever is greater, and operating money without a project comes with an expectation of project funds within 24 months.
- CDBG has its own CDC door. Under 24 CFR 570.204 (opens in a new tab), a CDBG grantee may give grants or loans to a community-based development organization (CBDO) for neighborhood revitalization, community economic development or energy conservation projects. A qualifying CBDO keeps at least 51% of its board for low- and moderate-income residents, local business owners or neighborhood group representatives. The CDBG guide explains how local consolidated plans decide who gets these dollars.
- The HHS jobs grant is closed until the next round. The FY 2026 Community Economic Development (CED) notice, HHS-2026-ACF-OCS-EE-0026, closed September 8, 2026, according to its federal listing (opens in a new tab), with awards of $100,000 to $800,000, about 21 expected awards and no cost share. The HHS Office of Community Services (OCS) runs CED, and according to the OCS program page it gave $18.57 million to 24 new CED projects in FY 2025. The prospective applicants page (opens in a new tab) requires a CDC whose board includes residents and business and civic leaders, and the money pays for business projects that create jobs, not housing.
- The CDFI Fund is for lenders. According to the CDFI Fund certification page (opens in a new tab), a certified CDFI must be a financing entity that provides development services alongside its loans. The CDFI Program page (opens in a new tab) says Financial Assistance awards must be matched dollar for dollar with non-federal money. A CDC that doesn't lend should borrow from a CDFI, not apply to the Fund; the CDFI Fund guide covers the lender route.
What these pages leave out is the cash gap between projects. HOME operating support is capped and tied to a pipeline, CBDO money follows a specific project, and CED pays for job creation. Foundations wrote 240 checks to CDCs in this pull, and a good share of the mid-size money was labeled general operating support or capacity, which is exactly what federal programs ration.
What CDC Projects Foundations Pay For
Grantsights checked the filed purposes on the 100 largest gifts in the November 1, 2026 pull against what CDCs usually propose, and 8 project types stood out.
- Land before the building. Walton's $800,000 in 2024 launched a pilot seed fund to buy land for future workforce housing in Northwest Arkansas.
- Matching public money. Knight's $2,000,000 in 2023 and $1,000,000 in 2024 to The Well were filed as a 1 to 1 match of Akron's $4,000,000 in ARPA money for the Middlebury housing initiative.
- Housing construction. The Weinberg Foundation gave United Neighborhood CDC in Scranton $600,000 and Bridges Community Development Corporation in Baltimore $500,000 in 2024 to build affordable housing, with the Scranton project filed as housing for older adults.
- Staff to grow a pipeline. The Walton Family Foundation gave the Bentonville Bella Vista CDC $350,000 in 2024 to hire staff, and Hillman Family Foundations gave Amani Christian CDC $150,000 for development capacity.
- Preservation of older units. Crankstart gave Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation $300,000 in 2024 to improve single-room-occupancy housing in San Francisco.
- A building that mixes housing and services. Hillman gave Mount Washington Community Development Corporation in Pittsburgh $100,000 in 2024 for a renovation to house a food bank and create a below-market apartment.
- Food programs. The Schmidt Family Foundation ($75,000 in 2024) and Manitou Fund ($75,000 in 2023) backed food system work at Sicangu Community Development Corporation in Mission, South Dakota.
- Regional housing plans. The Hendricks Family Foundation gave ACTS Community Development Corporation in Milwaukee $188,000 in 2023 and $181,000 in 2024 for a housing initiative in Beloit.
The lesson: pair 1 visible project with a request for the staff time that makes it happen. Walton, Hillman and Meyer all paid for capacity alongside units, and that's the money a CDC can't get from HUD.
Budgeting a CDC Project for a Grant Request
Most CDC boards underestimate predevelopment: the appraisal, environmental review, architect and legal work that come before any lender commits. Put those costs up front before you ask for even $10,000. This table is illustrative, not data: costs depend on the site, the market and the funding stack.
| Line | What it pays for | Often left out of a first budget? |
|---|---|---|
| Site control | Option, purchase deposit or land carrying costs | Sometimes |
| Predevelopment studies | Appraisal, environmental review, market study | Yes |
| Design and permits | Architect, engineer, zoning and permit fees | No |
| Development staff | Project manager and finance staff time | Yes |
| Resident services | Case management after people move in | Yes |
| Reserves | Operating and replacement reserves lenders require | Yes |
| Program evaluation | Data on households served and outcomes | Yes |
Report units completed, households housed, businesses assisted and jobs created. A funder judging a $30,000 request wants proof that the CDC finishes what it starts.
Common Mistakes in CDC Grant Requests
These 6 mistakes cost CDCs real money, and each can sink a $30,000 request.
- Pitching a building with no site. A common mistake is asking for capital before you control land. The largest housing gifts in the pull named a specific development, such as Waimea Malama's for the Ouli plan and Walton's for Town Green.
- Asking national funders first. A red flag is a $1 million ask to a foundation whose CDC gifts in your state are $10,000 checks. Read past gifts with how to read a 990-PF before you write.
- Hiding the service work. Many CDCs run pantries and youth programs but pitch only housing. The food pantry guide shows how program funders size those gifts.
- Treating CHDO status as a grant. Certification opens a set-aside, but your city still picks projects. Ask the housing office how it ranks CHDO applications before you rewrite your bylaws.
- Blurring a church and its CDC. Funders that won't pay for worship will pay a separate nonprofit's housing work. The faith-based organizations guide explains how to set up that line.
- Ignoring downtown partners. If your CDC works on a commercial corridor, grants for Main Street programs shows how storefront and small business groups share funders.
A Community Development Corporation's Funding Calendar
This 12-month plan suits a CDC with 1 project in predevelopment and 1 or 2 service programs. Shift it to your city's consolidated plan schedule.
| Month | Action |
|---|---|
| January | Pull last year's households served, units and program costs |
| February | Ask the city or state housing office when the HOME and CDBG application rounds open |
| March to May | Send 10 to 20 program requests to local human-services, bank and family foundations |
| June | Check the HHS CED page for a new notice if you have a job-creation project |
| July to September | Lock site control and update the project budget with your architect |
| October to December | Report to funders, hold a year-end appeal and line up capacity grants for next year |
The Grantsights grant database lists open federal and state housing and community development notices, including state HOME and CDBG rounds that fund CDCs.
Related Guides for Community Developers
The 103 foundations behind the $45,044,183 in this pull often fund housing beyond CDCs. A CDC focused on rental units should compare grants for affordable housing with the ranked list in the best grants for affordable housing nonprofits in 2026. Groups that run homebuyer classes or foreclosure help will find overlapping funders in grants for housing counseling agencies.
A volunteer-run block club that wants to grow into a CDC should start with grants for neighborhood associations. A CDC that runs domestic violence programs, as Corner Stone does, can read grants for domestic violence shelters for the funders behind that work. A CDC that runs a crime victim program alongside its housing work can compare funders in grants for victim services programs. CDCs building a farm-to-market warehouse or commercial kitchen should read grants for food hubs, and those started by a mosque can find congregation-side funders in grants for mosques.
FAQ: Common Questions
Do community development corporations get more money from government or from foundations? Government usually pays for the building, and 103 foundations filled gaps with $45,044,183 in the November 1, 2026 pull.
How many foundations give grants to community development corporations? 103 foundations made 240 grants, and 20 states had at least 3 funders.
How big is a typical foundation grant to a CDC? The median was $30,000, with the middle half between $10,000 and $100,000.
What is a CHDO, and should a CDC become one? It's a nonprofit housing developer certified for the 15% HOME set-aside, worth it if you build housing.
Is the HHS Community Economic Development grant open now? No. The FY 2026 round closed September 8, 2026.
Can a church-sponsored community development corporation get these grants? Yes, through a separate nonprofit with its own board.
