The Community Foundation for Crawford County is accepting grant applications from non-profit organizations and municipalities at their website: https://www.cfcrawford.org/grantseekers. This is the second grant cycle of the year, and the deadline to apply is August 31st with funding distributions to occur in December.
Applicants will notice that the beginning of the grant application includes power point slides that explain Results Based Accountability (RBA) and helpful hints for completing the grant application,” explained Lisa Workman, Foundation President. An explanation of the RBA and grant application process can also be found at the Foundation’s website when accessing the grant application.
“For the last couple of years, we have been partnering with United Way of North Central Ohio to try to streamline and improve our processes in order to better serve the community,” added Rachel Jarvis, Office & Program Manager. “By sharing the same goals and similar grant applications and evaluation processes, we feel our two grantmaking organizations are making a bigger impact in the community than working alone in our individual silos.” Only organizations designated as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code – including governmental units – may apply. The Foundation’s next grant cycle after this one will have a deadline of December 31st with funding distributions to be made in April 2025.
According to CFLeads, Aspen Institution Community Strategies Group and The Council on Foundations, a Community Foundation creates a better future for all by addressing the community’s most critical and persistent challenges, inclusively uniting people, institutions and resources, and producing significant, widely shared and lasting results.
