Greendale Historical Society Grant Program
Beginning in 2026, the Greendale Historical Society will offer annual grants to support projects and organizations that align with the Society’s mission and the original goals of Greendale as a Greenbelt community. Grant funds are drawn from the Society’s interest income from the previous year and reinvested into the Village to help maintain and enhance Greendale’s unique quality of life.
The Society looks forward to partnering with fellow Village organizations to support programs, projects, and initiatives that reflect shared community values.
