As a result of its competitive grant cycle, the Community Foundation of Crawford County (CFCC) recently awarded $35,600.00 in grants to four 501(c)(3) non-profit organizations serving Crawford County residents. While not all organizations have an office in Crawford County, the CFCC confirmed that services are provided to residents in our community.
The committee carefully reviewed and evaluated each proposal and conducted site visits, then met together to discuss awards. This was not an easy task for our committee members. We recognize each nonprofit that applied as a partner with the CFCC in providing for needs of our community. They help our community members with all aspects of human services. The CFCC is proud to work alongside them! Grants were awarded to the following organizations from the funds listed below:
· CFCC Challenge Fund
· Making Generosity Last Forever Fund
· Milton and Ruth Roggenkamp Family Unrestricted Fund
| Crawford County Youth Baseball and Softball Inc. | Handicap Seating |
| Friends of Marengo Big Springs Old Town Church | “If Walls Could Talk”- New wallboards (drywall) |
| Honor Flight of Southern Indiana | Honor Flight EVV 19 |
| Personal Counseling Services | Crawford County Recovery Catalyst Program |
Kimberly Broughton-Miller, CFCC Grant and Board Chair said “At the heart of our mission is a deep belief in the power of community. Through the generosity of our donors, we’re able to respond directly to the evolving needs of our community. It’s incredibly humbling to see how deeply people care for one another in this community. Because of their generosity, we’re able to meet urgent needs, uplift families, and support programs that create lasting change. Every gift—big or small—carries the spirit of compassion and connection. It reminds us that when we come together, we can truly make a difference in each other’s lives”
The CFCC now has an open grant cycle, meaning the application is open throughout the year, with review and allocation occurring twice a year. Visit our website, www.cf-cc.org, to access the online application.
