Preference was given to efforts that increase quality of life, create access to opportunities or implement a solution to a local need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Five grants were awarded during the 2022 funding cycle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 RLB Ministries to support its Backpack Buddies program, which works with 17 local schools to provide weekly meal bags, emergency food boxes, clothing, coats, shoes and hygiene items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Ironton in Bloom to help with construction of a small park that will enhance downtown revitalization efforts and preserve a piece of the city\u2019s cultural history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church to help finance a historic structure report, the first step in restoring and renovating the church, Ohio\u2019s first Black church and the only surviving antebellum Black church in the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 New Hope United Methodist Church to support its annual back-to-school giveaway of backpacks and school supplies in three of the county\u2019s school districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Third and Center to help support the expansion of its Ironton Riverfront Beautification Project to include an interactive arts experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donations to the Lawrence County Community Foundation help fund these annual grants that meet communities\u2019 greatest needs and most promising opportunities. Thanks to a partnership with FAO\u2019s I\u2019m a Child of Appalachia\u00ae Fund, dollar-for-dollar matches are currently available for gifts to the LCCF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about the Lawrence County Community Foundation and how to support its work, visit www.appalachianohio.org\/Lawrence or contact FAO at info@ffao.org or 740.753.1111.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>$10,000 in funding to benefit county residents, communities IRONTON, Ohio \u2013 The Lawrence County Community Foundation (LCCF), launched in July 2022, has awarded its first grant awards, allocating $10,000 to advance projects and programs serving individuals throughout Lawrence County. \u201cInvesting in the present and future of Lawrence County, its people and its communities is the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"13,14,83,87,88,89","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,22,12],"class_list":["post-124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants","category-impact-news","category-lawrence"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
