MCCF Awards over $89,000 in Impact Grants
The Martin County Community Foundation Board of Directors awarded $34,076 in Impact and Boost Grants to four local organizations in the third quarterly round of grants in the 2026 Open Application Grant Cycle. With this grant process, grantseekers can apply online year-round; applications are pulled and evaluated quarterly.
An additional $55,000 was awarded in conditional grants to two organizations. The Martin County Alliance for Economic Growth will receive a $25,000 grant once they raise $131,250 for their project “Home Starts Here.” Shoals Christian Church needs to raise $10,500 and any additional funds needed to complete their project “Preserving Visual Storytelling” in order to receive their $30,000 grant.
"We just wrapped up our 3rd quarter Grants cycle. I'm excited to see the positive impact these projects will have on our community. It is truly humbling to see the number of organizations and people that want to make this county one of the best in the state,” said Kevin Lewis, MCCF Grants Chair. “Once again, it would not be possible without the amazing generosity of the many donors that decided to make a gift to MCCF, a gift that will keep giving for years to come. Give. Grow. Grant."
