Grant Information

The Bellevue Community Foundation will not offer its traditional community grant program in 2026, as the Foundation has chosen to concentrate those funds on improvements at American Heroes Park that will benefit the entire Bellevue community.

This year’s investment has already helped support the installation of new lighting along the walking trail at American Heroes Park, providing greater visibility, safety and accessibility while allowing residents to enjoy the trail later into the evening.

The Foundation is also moving forward with the next phase of the Bellevue Legacy Trail, an ongoing project designed to enhance the park while recognizing the people, organizations and stories that have helped shape Bellevue.

Rather than distributing grant funds among several projects in 2026, the Foundation believes focusing its resources on these lasting improvements provides an opportunity to make a significant investment in one of Bellevue’s most important community spaces.

The Bellevue Community Foundation remains committed to its mission of giving back, strengthening our community and leaving Bellevue better for future generations.
