Grant Seekers
Due to the decline in the investment markets over the past several months, the Board of Directors of the Community Foundation of Gaston County, Inc. has suspended its traditional 2009 competitive grant making cycle. The Board of Directors will decide at a later date if the 2010 competitive grant making cycle will recommence.
The available funds for grants will be used for Run for the Money 8 and previous commitments. In addition, the Board has put aside $70,000 for emergency funds. Emergency funds will be designated for Gaston County non-profit agencies providing food, clothing, and shelter to those hit hardest by the recession. These grants will be allocated in amounts up to $10,000. Agencies can apply multiple times between July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010. For more information on how to apply for a grant please contact the Community Foundation.
