Applications Open for Community Foundation Grant Funds

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio — Area nonprofits can now apply for five funding opportunities through the Community Foundation of the Mahoning Valley.

Funds making grant awards this quarter include the Community Foundation General Grant Fund, the Young Philanthropist Fund, William Swanston Charitable Fund, Trumbull Memorial Health Foundation and the Western Reserve Health Foundation.

Nonprofits can apply at CFMV.org/apply. Applications are due at the end of April 1. Recipients will be notified in July.

“We look to invest in organizations directly connected with the community they serve and having a clear impact,” Shari Harrell, foundation president, said in a release. “If your work is making a difference in the Valley, you should apply for support.”

Eligible organizations include 501(c)(3) nonprofits, religious organizations, schools and other groups deemed not-for-profit by the IRS, such as government entities, according to the release. Organizations not registered as nonprofits may apply through a fiscal sponsor.
