Jackson County Community Foundation accepting grant applications

7/3/2018

The board of advisors of the Jackson County Community Foundation is currently accepting grant applications for programs funded from its community grantmaking fund, according to Ken Torok, board president.

 

Funds are available for nonprofit organizations that serve general charitable needs in Jackson County. Priority will be given to grant applications dealing with food, health, education and youth. Grants typically range from $1,500 - $2,500, but as the total grantmaking amount is larger this year, applicants should feel free to ask for larger amounts outside the typical grant range. Total grantmaking will not exceed $18,000 this year.
 
Applications are available online beginning July 6. Visit nccommunityfoundation.org for information about applying. The deadline for submitting applications is noon August 7.
 
For further information, contact NCCF Regional Director Katie Crumpler at 828-538-4299 or kcrumpler@nccommunityfoundation.org or visit the NCCF website at nccommunityfoundation.org.
