The Eutopia Program for Innovation in our Community (EPIC Grants) is a new funding opportunity designed to support bold, creative ideas that benefit Hudson residents. Funded by the Eutopia Foundation and fiscally sponsored by The Spark of Hudson, this program provides grants ranging from $500 to $5,000 to individuals and organizations ready to bring innovative projects to life.
Who Should Apply?
EPIC Grants are open to individuals and organizations with a strong idea for a community-driven project—whether it's entirely original or adapted from a successful model. There are no income restrictions, and we encourage applications from those who may not otherwise have the resources to launch their ideas.
