Our mission is to enhance quality of life, today and in the future, by enabling donors to fulfill their charitable desires, building a permanent endowment, facilitating prudent management and care of funds, and meeting needs through grants, awards, and scholarships.
The grant program supports projects or programs that serve the community and/or advance the mission of the organization. Funding can be allocated for seed money to establish new projects, programs, or organizations, including operating expenses; capacity building or activities that strengthen an organization's ability to fulfill its mission, such as technology & equipment, professional development & training, and hiring additional staff to implement a new program; capital improvements including new construction or renovation of facilities; and endowment funds to provide permanent and long-term support for an organization or program, with a preference for those supporting a specific initiative. Specifically, the Cloud County Economic Development Fund focuses on projects or programs that support positive, progressive economic or community development in Cloud County that are charitable, educational, or scientific in nature.
