The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation seeks grant proposals for two community improvement opportunities. The grants will go towards projects in public gathering spaces and neighborhood improvements.
The Findlay-Hancock Country Community Foundation was established in 1992 to improve the quality of life for everyone in the community. Since opening the Community Foundation has granted more than $85 million to fund local projects.
The grant for community gathering spaces will focus on investments in area parks, capital investments and improvements to community buildings and other public community gathering spaces. The grant for neighborhood revitalization will focus on engaging residents of all ages in making a difference in the community through revitalization projects.
