ST. MARYS — McKean County non-profits and faith-based organizations have the opportunity through Sept. 15 to apply for a grant from the McKean County Community Foundation (MCCF) and the McKean County Board of Commissioners partnership.

These grant monies are available from dollars McKean County received through the American Rescue Plan Act.

The MCCF Board of Directors is pleased to accept grant applications and provide the administrative services on behalf of the McKean County Commissioners. The grants committee, appointed by the MCCF Board, plans to meet in late September and will recommend and approve distribution by mid-October.

Again, the grant application deadline is Sept. 15. Applications are now available on the Community Foundation website at www.mckeancountyfoundation.org to any county-wide 501 © 3 nonprofit, as well as faith-based organizations that provide services to the public in McKean County.

The maximum grant award for each organization is $10,000. The grant requests must seek to support projects that will impact McKean County residents by meeting the needs of the community. Projects can expand or enhance current programs or fund new programs. All programs and projects must have a solid plan for sustainability. Please contact the Community Foundation with any questions.

The MCCF provides the administrative and investment management services that make it easy for donors to accomplish their charitable wishes, while improving the quality of life in local communities.
