HCCF’s Mission is focused on education, human needs, health care, community improvement or rural development. The Foundation was selected as the organization to receive, review and evaluate applications for projects based on these fields of support.
Grant applicants may seek full funding, partial funding or matching funding for projects that meet these areas of focus as well as the grant application deadline and criteria. All applicants must be not-for-profit organizations or associations. No funds will be awarded to individuals. The Foundation will accept applications postmarked by May 1, 2013. Following the evaluation of each application, awards will be announced by the Foundation prior to this year’s annual meeting held May 23rd.
Part of the criteria for all grants awarded in 2012 is to complete a final report within one year of those grants awarded on May 1, 2012. In addition, a progress report is due for those awarded during the October 1, 2012 grant round. Final Reports of completed projects and Progress Reports are required before any additional funds will be considered.
