Offering nonprofits a shot at up to $10,000, a Harrisburg-based community foundation will begin accepting grant applications today for community-enhancing projects.
The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC)’s Community Impact Grants offer nonprofits across six counties in south-central Pennsylvania the chance at funds they can put toward projects impact communities for the better.
“Nonprofits know their communities best,” said Stefani McAuliffe, vice president of community impact at TFEC. “We are looking for projects that use that local knowledge to strengthen services and create impact that lasts beyond the grant period.”
The grants fund programs and projects that respond to local needs, expand access to services in the following areas: education, environment, health and wellness, homelessness, housing, hunger, mental health, senior care, animal welfare and community welfare.
Applications open today and are due by Sept. 1. Eligible projects for impact grants must serve those in Cumberland, Dauphin, Franklin, Juniata, Lebanon, Mifflin or Perry counties, or the Dillsburg area of northern York County.
The Community Impact Grant application process brings together what were previously Upstream and Benjamin Franklin Trust Fund grants, simplifying the application process.
