bacfThe Bucyrus Area Community Foundation is pleased to announce the grant allocation for the first half of the year 2012 totaling more than $245,000.  During the first granting cycle this year, the BACF awarded grants in two categories: Competitive Grants and Multi-Year Grants.

When reviewing grant applications, the Board of Directors looks at several factors. “The Board looks at impact on the community and the number of individuals that will be served,” said Janet Pry, BACF Executive Director.

“We also look for duplication of effort and try to encourage collaboration whenever possible. Geographic allocation is also a consideration since we serve most of Crawford County.”

The BACF receives an average of 25-40 grant applications per year. “The number of grant requests varies widely each year, and we accept them (grant requests) at various times throughout the year,” Pry said.
