Harrison County Community Foundation accepting applications through Sept. 12
CADIZ, Ohio – The Harrison County Community Foundation (HCCF) in partnership with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) is accepting grant applications from nonprofits, schools and public organizations for projects and programs benefiting Harrison County residents and communities.
The 2023 application period for grant funding opens Aug. 1 and closes Sept. 12.
HCCF and FAO’s I’m a Child of Appalachia® Fund will award grants across five areas essential to creating and sustaining transformative change: arts and culture, community and economic development, education, environmental stewardship, and health and human services. Emphasis is on supporting individuals of all ages who are spearheading projects and programs that create opportunities, meet pressing needs and unleash the potential within Harrison County. Applications that support youth-led projects are encouraged as well.
Additional information and the 2023 grant application are available at www.AppalachianOhio.org/HCCF.
“These grants are donor generosity turned into support for the organizations that make Harrison County such a wonderful place to live, work and visit,” said Kris Puskarich, HCCF committee member. “We thank those who give to HCCF and make these grants possible as well as the grant applicants who contribute so much to the communities of Harrison County.”
Earnings from charitable giving to HCCF are reinvested in Harrison County through annual grants that meet the county’s greatest needs and seize its most promising opportunities. In fall 2022, HCCF and FAO awarded 10 grants, totaling more than $24,000, to organizations serving Harrison County.
