Community Foundation for Perry County accepting applications through Sept. 10

NEW LEXINGTON, Ohio – The Community Foundation for Perry County (CFPC) in partnership with the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio is accepting grant applications from nonprofits, schools and public organizations for projects and programs benefiting Perry County residents and communities.

The 2024 application period for grant funding opens July 30 and closes Sept. 10.

CFPC will award grants that advance opportunities across five areas of need: 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 Perry County.

Approximately $46,000 in funding will be awarded this year. Grants typically range between $500 and $5,000, but larger requests will be considered based on potential impact. Additional information and the 2024 grant application are available at www.AppalachianOhio.org/CFPC.

Earnings from charitable giving to CFPC are reinvested in Perry County through annual grants that meet the county’s greatest needs and seize its most promising opportunities. In 2023, CFPC awarded 16 grants, totaling more than $37,000, to organizations serving Perry County.
