MCCF Announces October Grant Cycle Recipients

The Martin County Community Foundation Board of Directors awarded over $98,000 in Impact Grants to six local nonprofits in the most recent quarterly round of grants in the new Open Application Grant Cycle. With this new grant process, grantseekers can apply online year-round; applications are pulled and evaluated quarterly.

The Community Foundation is governed by a volunteer board whose mission is to improve the quality of life in Martin County for this generation and generations to come. The Community Foundation accepts and manages individual and business contributions made to permanent endowments, some of which fund the annual grant cycle.

Alan Lagree is chairing the MCCF Grants Committee, “I am very excited that MCCF has executed two quarters of grants after historically providing grants once a year. This is tremendously important in enabling us to be responsive to the charitable organizations in our community and meet the needs of our residents.”

The Martin County Community Foundation is a public charity recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) whose mission is to be proactive in creating and growing an enduring source of charitable assets, and to identify and respond to the changing needs of Martin County.
