COMMUNITY INVESTMENT

PCHTF Community Investment funding provides investment and support into programmatic needs for organizations managing housing-focused programs in Polk County.

PCHTF Community Investment grants utilize charitable funds from our Navigating Housing Together fundraising initiative to support housing programs and services assisting people on their housing journey. Our Community Investment Committee sets the program's funding priorities and reviews applications. The committee includes volunteer community leaders, the PCHTF Director of Advancement and Community Investment, PCHTF's Executive Director.

Details about our FY2026 grantmaking process will be added to this site when they are available.
