There are
new guidelines and grant applications for 2008.
As of January
1, 2008 our grant making process has changed.
Please make
sure that you read all of the following information.
The
Fairfield County Foundation, a community foundation,
was established in 1989 in Lancaster, Ohio as a 501(c)(3)
not-for-profit corporation to serve the entire community.
The Foundation was established in order to afford an
opportunity for individuals and others to financially
assist non-profit organizations within our community.
Fairfield County Foundation is responsible for both restricted
and unrestricted funds. Restricted funds have specific directions,
which were given at the time the fund was established, and
the Board of Trustees may only approve grants in accordance
to the donors' direction. In addition, there are unrestricted
and field of interest funds, which may be used to respond
to community grant applications.
Fairfield County Foundation encourages 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organizations in the Fairfield County area to partner with
the foundation in meeting its mission and to apply for assistance
through Foundation grants when appropriate. The partnering
organization should be located in Fairfield County or be
able to demonstrate that a significant number of people
or clients served by the organization reside in Fairfield
County. |
