Nonprofits often have a mission that targets a particular community or demographic. These nonprofits can define their missions based on age, race, gender, disability, income or location. Regardless of their particular communities and purposes, these nonprofits all often rely on the funding provided by target population grants to continue their work. 

There are many different kinds of organizations that can provide these kinds of population grants. Traditionally this included federal agencies. It also encompasses many private foundations and community foundations.
