The South Cumberland Community Fund (SCCF) welcomes grant requests from nonprofit organizations for projects that strengthen community and improve lives in the South Cumberland region. The deadline for applications is May 1; final selection of grant recipients will be made by Aug. 1.
“The Community Fund has given $225,000 to 20 different groups over the last two years. We’re proud to be part of this community, and we hope to make a lasting impact with our grant program,” said Scott Parrish, SCCF board chairman.
Several changes have been made to the fund’s grants program this year. The fund will not make grants of less than $1,000 or more than $10,000.
In addition, applicants in 2014 must attend an information session designed to ensure they understand what is required in an application.
There will be two opportunities to attend this required meeting: 10 a.m., Saturday, March 29, and 5 p.m., Tuesday, April 8; both will be at the Coalmont Community Center.
SCCF has established seven priority areas for funding: building our sense of community, strengthening our economy, developing the potential of our youth, tapping the potential of our elders, conserving the past, enlarging the vision of the future, and meeting basic needs.
