LCCF awards $86,972 in Boost and Impact Grants
The Lawrence County Community Foundation Board of Directors awarded $76,511 in Impact Grants to nineteen non-profit agencies through the 2025 LCCF Open Grant Cycle. An additional $10,461 was awarded in Boost Grants to six organizations. Boost Grants have a $2,000 cap and are for smaller projects or general support for an organization.
A $15,000 Conditional Grant was awarded to Bertha’s Mission for building repairs. The grant will be awarded once the remaining funds needed to complete the project are raised.
“Lawrence County is blessed to have a wide variety of non-profit organizations that add to the quality of life in our county,” Bradford Dykes, LCCF Grants Committee Chair, observed. “Through these grants we hope to extend and improve the impact of their programs and services for our residents.”
