Funding available for nonprofits, schools and public organizations serving Harrison County
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 the people and communities of Harrison County.
HCCF will award grants that advance opportunities across five areas essential to flourishing communities: 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.
Funding requests should be between $500 and $5,000, but larger requests may be considered based on potential impact. Additional information and the 2026 grant application are available at www.AppalachianOhio.org/Harrison/grant-opportunities. Applications must be submitted online by Tuesday, Sept. 8.
Monetary gifts to HCCF’s endowment fund are invested, generating earnings that enable HCCF to award these grants annually. In 2025, HCCF, one of FAO’s 15 affiliate foundation partners, awarded nearly $28,000 during its grant round to support 13 projects and programs serving the people of Harrison County.
