Leverage is the word which best describes what the city of Homer grants program through the Homer Foundation gives in the form of small operating grants to local nonprofits like Bunnell Street Arts Center. At 1 percent of our operating budget, this grant is small enough you might underestimate it. However, every city dollar leverages 10 more from both public and private sources. That's huge.

Bunnell Street Arts Center has grown and thrived through a dynamic formula of complementary funding sources. The keystone is city support. With the leverage it gives Bunnell, the city of Homer grants program through the Homer Foundation has fostered greater tenacity and sustainability for local nonprofits. Thanks to the vision of its founders, the city of Homer grants program through the Homer Foundation continues to foster a dynamically creative and vibrant community.
