Community Foundation Opens Second Round of Grant Applications

image001 (3)The second round of grant applications is now being accepted by the Marshall County Community Foundation.

Those monies are being distributed through the not-for-profit’s Community Fund and unrestricted endowment fund. Since 1995, twice each year, monies are distributed through those funds to support community needs and non-profit efforts.

Areas of need vary depending on the discretion of the committee responsible for awarding the grant funds. According to a press release, More than $3.3-million has been awarded in the last 20 years through the application process.

Not-for-profits that have a need for funding start-up projects and expansion projects, or are in need of one-time funding are being encouraged to apply.

The Marshall County Community Foundation says the application process is considered quite competitive and involves a site visit prior to selection. Applications are due by August 1st.
