Funding available for nonprofits, schools and public organizations serving Perry County
NEW LEXINGTON, Ohio – The Community Foundation for Perry County (CFPC), 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 Perry County.
The 2025 application period for grant funding opens July 29 and closes Sept. 9.
CFPC 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 Perry County.
Funding requests should be between $500 and $5,000, but larger requests may be considered based on potential impact. Additional information and the 2025 grant application are available at www.AppalachianOhio.org/Perry/Grant-Opportunities.
Each year, earnings from charitable giving to CFPC’s endowment fund are reinvested in Perry County through grants that meet the county’s greatest needs and most promising opportunities. In 2024, CFPC, one of FAO’s 15 affiliate foundation partners, awarded 16 grants totaling more than $36,000 to organizations serving Perry County.
