Palatine Township offers community funding grants

Palatine Township is taking applications for the 2026 Human Needs Funding Program. Each year, the Palatine Township Board allocates Human Needs Funding to support programs that strengthen the community and improve the lives of township residents.

These funds invest in programs that address critical community needs by supporting accredited agencies that provide life-saving, life-sustaining, and life-enriching services. Funding is awarded to programs that demonstrate measurable outcomes and improve the quality of life for township residents.

Agencies seeking funding must demonstrate the impact of their programs, provide measurable results, and document the number of Palatine Township residents served.

Applications are available at PalatineTownship-il.gov. Completed applications must be received no later than the close of business on Friday, Sept. 4, 2026.

For questions and to send the completed application form, email HNF@PalatineTownship-il.gov or mail to Palatine Township Attn: Human Needs Funding, 721 S. Quentin Road, Palatine, IL, 60067.

As always, we remind you that those needing assistance can contact the township at (847) 358-6700 or email Reach@palatinetownship-il.gov.
