Deuel County Community Foundation Grant
The foundation was created in 2007 by a group of community leaders looking ahead with a vision to provide individuals a way to give back to their community.
Developing Deuel County
Deuel County has faced the challenges of continued development, sustained job growth, population growth and quality housing for quite some time. These challenges seem to be inherent in the rural areas of our country and demand continued attention if the communities are to hold their own in today’s economy.
To that end, there have been a number of development organizations through the years that have done their best to promote growth. Some have been based at the city level and some at the county level. Without giving a history lesson listing all the development organizations of the past, it should be sufficient to note that Deuel Area Development, Inc. (DADI) is the current group working to develop business and housing in Deuel County.
You have probably also heard of the Deuel County Community Foundation (DCCF). The foundation is another ‘development’ organization but it works not with business and housing, but rather with others in Deuel County to offer quality-of-life enhancements to the area.
Supporting Quality-of-Life Improvements
The Deuel County Community Foundation exists to support activities in Deuel County that improve the Quality-of-Life for Deuel County residents. It’s not intended that the directors of the DCCF fund the projects they know about or are ‘favorites’. The intent is that community members will bring their projects and needs to the board.
Based on dollars available and competition that exists between multiple applications, the board makes its’ best decision to award funds to those projects that show value. Attempts are made to distribute moneys throughout the county and to fund a variety of projects.
Mesquite Regional Community Fund
This grant is restricted to Mesquite NV, Virgin Valley and Moapa Valley areas.
The Mesquite Initiative supports projects that strengthen and enrich the communities of the Virgin Valley and Moapa Valley areas. This regional fund invests in local solutions that bring people together, enhance shared spaces, and foster a strong sense of community pride.

About Knight Foundation
John S. and James L. Knight believed that a well-informed community could best “determine its own true interests” and was essential to a well-functioning, thriving democracy. They pursued those beliefs, building and leading one of the largest and most successful newspaper companies in American history.
For 75 years, Knight Foundation has supported the people, ideas and insights that lead to thriving communities. The foundation invests in local journalism, arts and culture and community development in the 26 cities and towns where the Knight brothers once published newspapers.
Since our founding in 1950, we have been committed to the communities we serve and to providing those communities with the tools they need for residents to thrive.
Knight Cities Challenge
Knight Foundation is currently accepting applications for the Knight Cities Challenge, a $5 million open call inviting individuals and organizations across its 26 communities to submit new, creative ideas for projects that can spark change and leave a lasting local impact.
Building on a long history of open challenges across programs, Knight democratizes access to grantmaking to unlock the best and brightest ideas. This spring, KCC returns to invest in its first cohort of community-centered solutions to local challenges and help promising ideas take root and grow.
Project ideas must focus on at least one of Knight’s investment areas: strengthening local news and information, creating pathways for economic opportunity or cultivating connection through arts, culture and the places that bring people together.
You may submit one idea, either as an individual or on behalf of your organization. While you are limited to one application as the lead applicant, you may collaborate on other projects submitted by different partners. Each individual or organization may receive funding for only one project.
For large institutions such as universities or city governments, schools or departments are considered separate entities.
Committed to Local
For 150 years, Univest has cultivated a philanthropic spirit and the strength of our Committed To Local giving program is one of the things that differentiates us. We know that Univest is only as strong as the communities we serve. Over the course of the year, we remained steadfast to our commitment to giving back.
Commitment To Community
To better serve the communities where we live and work, we offer strong leadership, employee volunteerism, and financial support to organizations whose programs and services complement our brand and mission.

Event Sponsorships
Support is intended for Univest customers. You're in the right place if you're seeking support for an event sponsorship.

We magnify your generosity and impact and ensure that charitable funds are directed where they matter most. Our services cover the entire county and all fields of interest including Arts and Culture, Conservation, Community and Economic Development, Health and Human Services, Education and Youth Initiatives.
Ultimately, our efforts help fill forests with trees, minds with knowledge, youth with dreams, workforce with skills, society with art & culture, pantries with food, communities with connections, and hearts with that joyful feeling of making a difference.
Adapt Grants
Adapt Grants are designed to fund projects that are small in scale, meet an unanticipated need, explore new opportunities, sponsor an event, and grow capacity. These grants are meant to be flexible and support you in adapting to changing needs, so whether you’re dreaming up a new project that could use seed or matching support, or are tackling a challenge that popped up suddenly, we want to support you in executing your day-to-day mission. Compared to the Community Grant Program “big rocks”, we consider these to be “pebble” projects. Both are important for advancing one’s mission. You can apply for both an Adapt Grant and the Community Grant Program in the same year.
For 2025-2027 the OCF has identified three high impact partners areas to proactively support the community:
Proposals that align with these areas will be strongly considered.

About us
With roots in the Unitarian and Congregational traditions, the First Parish in Lincoln (FPL) celebrates many theologies and spiritual beliefs. We advocate inclusion and respect for all people. We gather each Sunday for worship at 10 a.m. During Sunday worship, we offer church school for school-aged children as well as nursery care for toddlers and preschoolers. Following worship, we come together at “coffee hour,” an ideal time to meet the minister and members of the congregation, as well as get information about the church.
Throughout the year, we rejoice in marking the changing seasons. Our celebrations range from a water communion welcoming all in September; winter concerts, solstice and Christmas Eve services, and children’s pageant in December; to the annual publication of a Lenten booklet filled with personal submissions from parishioners and the celebration of Easter in the spring.
The community of First Parish draws many members. Whether encountering friends and neighbors on Sunday, volunteering in the church school, or working on committees and service projects, our members and friends embrace the collective whole, recognizing that we are not alone, that we are part of a strong and supportive community.
Parishioners are instrumental in helping to run the church. While there is a core staff in place to provide the essentials, our members and friends come together to support the church in whatever way they are able. In addition to financial support, this can include arranging flowers for the pulpit, serving on a committee, teaching Sunday School, or helping with a special event.
Jean Wood Preston Grant
The First Parish in Lincoln has the honor of choosing the recipients of annual grants from this fund established by a longtime member of our community. In recent years the grants have been as much as $25,000, and may be used for one-time capital projects or Transformative Innovation initiatives.
