In the Fall of 2013, the Board of the Community Foundation of Gaston County voted to establish three unrestricted funds as recommended by the Grants Committee to be named: The Belmont, Cherryville and Mount Holly Community Impact Funds respectively. Each fund will have a local board appointed which will recommend grants based on local knowledge to the CFGC Board for approval.

Grant Information: The 2018 Mount Holly Community Impact Fund grant cycle is open. A major focal point of the grant process is directed towards projects that would be visible in the Mount Holly community and would have a reasonable likelihood of kick starting a larger community response to a community need that is not currently being met. In regard to the amount of funding available, the Community Impact Fund Committee has at its disposal a total of $10,000. The actual amount for awards can be the entire amount or in increments based upon the application being considered. The deadline for accepting applications is August 31, 2018. Final decisions on grants awarded will be made by October 1. 2018. For more information regarding the grant application process or other pertinent questions, please contact Erin Wiggins, Grants Officer, by phone 704-864-0927 or by email ewiggins@cfgaston.org or contact Mr. Reeves McGlohon, Committee Chairman, at 704-366-3812 or by email at reevesmcglohon@gmail.com.
