Funding available for nonprofits, schools and public organizations serving Lawrence County
IRONTON, Ohio – The Lawrence County Community Foundation (LCCF), in partnership with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio (FAO), is accepting grant applications for projects and programs benefiting the people and communities of Lawrence County.
The 2025 application period for grant funding opens July 29 and closes Sept. 9. Nonprofits, schools and public organizations serving Lawrence County are eligible for this grant opportunity. Other groups working in fiscal agent partnership with a nonprofit or public organization are eligible to apply. If you need help finding a fiscal agent, contact LCCF for assistance.
LCCF will award grants that advance opportunities across five funding areas: 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 Lawrence County.
Funding requests should be limited to a maximum of $5,000, but larger requests may be considered based on potential impact. Priority will be given to Lawrence County-based organizations not previously funded during the 2024 grant cycle. Approximately $70,000 in grant funding is available to be awarded this year.
Additional information and the 2025 grant application can be found at www.AppalachianOhio.org/Lawrence/Grant-Opportunities.
Each year, earnings from charitable giving to LCCF’s endowment fund are reinvested in Lawrence County through grants that meet the county’s greatest needs and most promising opportunities. In 2024, LCCF, one of FAO’s 15 affiliate foundation partners, awarded six grants to organizations serving Lawrence County.
