John Rudd, president of the Community Foundation, has announced that $20,289
is available in grants for a wide variety of qualifying projects.
Grants are made to projects involving education, health, and human services,
youth programs, arts and culture, conservation of natural resources and
other civic endeavors.
Deadline for applying for such grants is September 1.
Applications, information and help are available by telephoning
812-988-4882, writing or visiting the foundation office at 10 North Van
Buren Street in the Professional Building in Nashville, Indiana.
A foundation grants committee reviews applications, gathers additional
information needed and makes recommendations to the foundations board of
directors for final approval.
The grant money represents investment returns of the foundations
unrestricted fund, a pooling of funds from donors who leave it to the
foundations board of directors to determine how best to use the income.
The foundation has already distributed nearly $10,000 this year from
designated funds where donors specify projects or organizations to receive
funds each year.
"With the growing value from investment of these endowment funds, adding to
existing endowment funds to establishing new endowment funds, we expect
distributions for grants to grow annually, " said Del Newkirk, executive
director of the foundation.
"Our Brown County community should become a better place which to live, work
or play as a result of the caring people who support these funds."
