The Hive Women’s Giving Circle is seeking applications for the 2026 grant cycle!
Video applications provide organizations the opportunity to personalize their request, clearly communicate their passion, and include project team members.
If you’re a Starke County charitable organization interested in receiving project funding, we encourage you to submit a video! This is a simple process doesn’t require professional equipment or expert editing, it can be shot right on your own device and uploaded to The Hive Google Drive. Budget forms are also required to be submitted through our grant portal. Grants typically range between $500 – $2,000.
Applications are due Monday, April 20, 2026. Grant amounts for finalists will be voted on during the Annual Social Gathering on Wednesday, May 20.
*Last year’s recipients are not eligible to apply during this grant cycle, but winners from previous years may apply.*
