Jackson County Community Foundation accepting applications through Sept. 12
JACKSON, Ohio – The Jackson County Community Foundation (JCCF) in partnership with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO) is accepting grant applications from nonprofits, schools and public organizations for projects and programs benefiting Jackson County residents and communities.
The 2023 application period for grant funding opens Aug. 1 and closes Sept. 12.
JCCF 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 Jackson County. Applications that support youth-led projects are encouraged as well.
Additional information and the 2023 grant application are available at www.AppalachianOhio.org/Jackson.
Earnings from charitable giving to JCCF are reinvested in Jackson County through annual grants that meet the county’s greatest needs and seize its most promising opportunities. In fall 2022, JCCF and FAO awarded five grants, totaling more than $12,000, to organizations serving Jackson County.
