Martin County Community Foundation Awards over $58,000 in the April, 2024, Open Grant Cycle

 

The Martin County Community Foundation Board of Directors awarded $58,518 in Impact and Boost Grants to seven local organizations in the most recent quarterly round of grants in the Open Application Grant Cycle. With this grant process, grantseekers can apply online year-round; applications are pulled and evaluated quarterly.

Curt Johnson, the MCCF Development Director, commented on this most recent grant cycle, “It’s always good to see so many organizations applying for grants that are so impactful to our community. This last round of grants was no exception. We're thankful for the organizations that serve our county and for all the donors that help make these grants happen.”

MCCF also issued a challenge grant to Goodwill Cemetery Association. A challenge grant provides matching funds, helping organizations gain public awareness of their project goals and raise funds for their mission.  Once the challenge amount is raised, Goodwill Cemetery Association will be awarded a $15,000 grant.
