MCCF Awarded Over $78,000 in First Round of Impact Grants of 2025

 

The Martin County Community Foundation Board of Directors awarded $78,210 in Impact and Boost Grants to six local organizations in the first quarterly round of grants in the 2025 Open Application Grant Cycle. With this grant process, grantseekers can apply online year-round; applications are pulled and evaluated quarterly.

Kevin Lewis, MCCF Grants Chair, commented on the most recent cycle, “It’s really quite impressive seeing people unite with a shared purpose. None of this would be possible without the generosity and passion of the citizens of this great county.”
