FCF Community Impact Grant Open Until June 30

The Fayette Community Foundation (FCF) is now accepting applications for the 2024 Community Impact Grant Cycle with a deadline of June 30. All registered nonprofits serving up to 80 miles outside of La Grange are encouraged to apply. FCF will consider any program that enriches the lives of its citizens; however, priority will be given to programs focused on Mental Health and Workforce Development and Education.

FCF is committed to making a significant impact on mental health in the community through the Community Impact Grant. This initiative seeks to increase access to mental health services/providers, raise awareness and education about mental health and support peer support groups and clinical supervision models. In addition to mental health, FCF aims to bolster workforce development and education through vocational and job skill training, youth entrepreneurship, strengthening regional collaboration, addressing systemic issues (housing, childcare, etc.)

Organizations with other areas of focus are invited to apply to the FCF Donor Response Program. This additional funding opportunity is available year-round for eligible nonprofits within the FCF service area. Each quarter, FCF will share grant requests with its fundholders, inviting them to connect their philanthropic goals with the most pressing needs of our rural area. Applications to the Donor Response Program Grant are accepted any time during the year, however, organizations are only allowed to submit requests once every 12 months.

Thanks to the generous donors who make this FCF funding opportunity possible. Please visit www.faycofoundation. com/nonprofits to learn more and apply. Email Ashleigh Parks at info@faycofoundation. com or call (979) 797-2182 with any questions.
