The NAILBA Charitable Foundation Grant Awards
“We have laid the foundation for growth. We are ‘Bridge Builders.’ We wear hard hats. We make life better.
These are exciting times for our association; we have a date with the future. Let us keep it!”
J. William Felton III
The NAILBA Charitable Foundation is more dedicated than ever to providing grant funding to small, well-run charities that may not otherwise have access to additional funding. Since 2002, NAILBA Charitable Foundation grants have helped worthwhile philanthropic organizations plant seeds of change in their communities. We welcome grant applications from NAILBA members, partners, and corporate sponsors, and appreciate your efforts to improve conditions for those less fortunate.
