Greene County Community Foundation

A reminder that a local grant ceremony is taking place this Sunday, after being delayed last week.

The 2024 Greene County Community Foundation Grant Award Ceremony was rescheduled to this Sunday at 4pm at the First Presbyterian Church in Jefferson. The event was originally scheduled for this past Sunday, but due to the NCAA Women’s National Basketball Finals with the Iowa Hawkeyes playing in the game on that day, the non-profit organization moved their ceremony to get more audience and grant recipients to attend.

Tim Heisterkamp, with the community foundation, says there were 30 applications requesting a total of $274,378. He adds they awarded 22 projects for a maximum total of $245,327, which includes Grow Greene County Gaming Corporation’s allocation of $175,000 and another $70,327 from GCCF’s endowment with the maximum of five percent that can be taken from those funds. 

The public is also invited to the event and registration is not necessary.
