$750,000 awarded in grants to 58 local nonprofits

“The rise in appli­ca­tions this year called for excep­tion­al ded­i­ca­tion from our vol­un­teer review com­mit­tee. The grants award­ed high­light both the press­ing chal­lenges and the remark­able cre­ativ­i­ty of local non­prof­its work­ing in edu­ca­tion, con­ser­va­tion, food access and men­tal health,” said Lau­rie Andrews, Pres­i­dent of the Com­mu­ni­ty Foundation. ​“We were deeply inspired by the spir­it of col­lab­o­ra­tion and resilience shown by these orga­ni­za­tions, and we’re hon­ored to stand behind their vital work.”

This year, the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion received 71 appli­ca­tions for Com­pet­i­tive Grants total­ing near­ly $1,340,000 in requests, a 13% increase over last year. The grant requests were reviewed by a vol­un­teer com­mit­tee com­prised of 28 com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers, includ­ing 4 high school stu­dents. Grants were award­ed based on com­mu­ni­ty need and antic­i­pat­ed impact. Fund­ing for the Com­mu­ni­ty Foundation’s Com­pet­i­tive Grants Pro­gram is pro­vid­ed by Old Bill’s CoChal­lengers, indi­vid­ual donors and endowed funds.
