As the organization draws closer to awarding nearly half-a-million dollars through annual grants in the region, the Greater South Haven Area Community Foundation has announced that they are now accepting grant applications for the 2021 grant award cycle.
Area non-profits can submit applications for grant funds towards programs or projects that positively impact the greater South Haven area through education, economic development, recreation, community health and/or arts and culture.
Applications and grant details are available online at this link: http://www.southhavencf.org/grants. The deadline to submit is March 15, 2021.
Each spring, the Foundation requests grant proposals from the area’s non-profit organizations concentrating on the fields of art, culture, education, recreation, information and community health with the goal of enriching and improving the lives of area residents. To date, they have awarded more than $400,000 in grants to local organizations.
Grant monies are made available by donations made to the SHCF endowment fund. In addition to grant distribution, the foundation manages and grows funds for local non-profits through endowments. Those interested in starting an endowment fund or making donations to the existing funds can contact the Greater South Haven Area Community Foundation at execdirector@southhavencf.org.
The Foundation serves the cities of South Haven and Bangor, and the townships of Arlington, Bangor, Casco, Columbia, Covert, Geneva, Lee and South Haven.
