Williamsport-Lycoming Community Foundation Grant
Application Process and Timelines
About Community Fund Grants
Lycoming County residents are fortunate to have endowed
community funds at the Williamsport-Lycoming Community
Foundation. Community Fund grants are made possible by
the foresight, generosity and compassion of individuals,
families and organizations of means and vision, who have
made gifts to enhance the quality of life for
generations to come.
Through
the power of endowed funding, meaning that it is the
investment earnings that make this funding possible, our
donors’ legacies live on, providing ongoing support for
the valuable work of our nonprofit partners, and making
a difference in lives each day. Community Fund grants
are possible through gifts from donors who have chosen
to give the Community Foundation the flexibility to meet
the changing needs of our community through a responsive
grant process that meets current needs.
Grant requests
should take into consideration the amount the Community
Foundation has available to award in Community Fund
Grants. The
Foundation will have $570,000 to grant
for the 2010 calendar year. $285,000 will
be available for each; the Spring Grant
Cycle and the Fall Grant Cycle (see deadlines
below).
