MCCF Awards $60,500 in Grants

 

The Martin County Community Foundation Board of Directors awarded $60,500 in Impact and Boost Grants to seven local organizations in the July 2023 quarterly round of grants in the Open Application Grant Cycle. The grants span the fields of education, food insecurity, safety, and recreation.

A one to one, $10,000 Challenge Grant was issued to the Friends of Waggoners Chapel for the restoration of Waggoners Chapel. A Challenge Grant provides matching funds, helping organizations gain public awareness of their project goals and raise funds for their mission. MCCF will grant one dollar for every dollar raised by the Friends of Waggoners Chapel for the renovation project up to $10,000.

Megan Hawkins, the 2023 MCCF Grants Committee Chairperson, commented on this grant cycle, “It was great to see the large amount of grant applications received. There are so many great projects and initiatives happening in our county. The MCCF Board appreciates the volunteers and leaders in our communities who are making our county a better place.”
