Maine Township Board Awards FY 26 Agency Grants

At the December meeting of the Maine Township Board, the Board of Trustees awarded 30 local nonprofit agencies with grant allocations to facilitate growth within their organizations and provide support for the continuation of the outstanding service they provide our community.

This has been a recurring program at the Township since 1987. Maine Township allocates these funds for local non-profit agencies to help address critical needs of Township residents. This year, the Township saw an additional three local community organizations receive funding (Kids Above All, NAMI and Youth Services of Glenview/Northbrook). A total of $499,300 was granted among the 30 agencies.

“These organizations serve as the lifeblood of Maine Township,” Supervisor Kim Jones stated. “We are very fortunate to be in a position to support these agencies and their valuable work in our community,” Jones elaborated. “Organizations like Glenkirk, Kids Above All and WINGS are doing an outstanding job serving vulnerable populations in our community, and we are proud to support their effort,” Supervisor Jones concluded.

A full listing of all grant recipients can be found at the agency funding webpage. All recipients must follow the application process and allocations are determined by several elements including the prior year’s amount, the current year’s request and by totaling the averages of the board member’s and key Township employees’ individual determinations.

To be eligible, agencies must meet all basic eligibility requirements, formally apply and present at an agency funding hearing. Applications for 2027 will be available for submittal in early Fall 2026.
