Union Pacific Railroad's Foundation offers grants (see http://www.up.com/found/grants.shtml) to nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations located in Union Pacific communities. The foundation's mission is to assist community-based organizations and related activities that improve and enrich the general quality of life in the community. The map for Union Pacific communities is here http://www.uprr.com/aboutup/maps/sysmap.shtml and looks like it runs along highway 90,IH 35 and some additional towns in AALS.
Public libraries are included in the community and civic categories - although remember they give to 501(c)(3) organizations such as Friends, nonprofit libraries and other groups. Municipalities located on Union Pacific lines may apply for a one-time project that benefits the entire community. I checked for the average amounts that these grants cover and they seem to be less than $10,000.
Applications must be submitted by August 15, 2009. Only online applications will be accepted. To request an application form, visit http://www.up.com/found/request.shtml.
