As a result of its competitive grant cycle, the Community Foundation of Crawford County (CFCC) recently awarded $68,673.00 in grants to twelve 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.
Grants were awarded to the following organizations in two categories, open (unrestricted) grants and education grants. 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!
