About community-based grants

Our grant partners provide specialized services to meet the needs of Minnesotans who are deaf, deafblind or have hearing loss. Few providers have the unique skills needed to provide the culturally affirmative and linguistically accessible services required by the populations we serve. To support and sustain the providers, we work closely with our grantees. We appreciate all our grantees do to support Minnesotans who are deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing.

Grant contracts are effective for two years with the possible extension of additional year(s), up to five years. Funding extensions are based on satisfactory performance by grantee(s).

If you are interested in applying for Department of Human Services grant opportunities, Request For Proposal (RFP) announcements are published on the Open grants, RFPs and RFIs webpage. You can find other grant opportunities for other agencies through the State Grants page. Grant opportunities are also published in the Minnesota State Register weekly.
