The Guthrie County Community Foundation recently announced their grant recipients.

GCCF awarded a total of $208,000 to local non profit organizations. Each year in February, the Foundation requests applications from non profits that either are located in, or provide services to Guthrie County. This organization has grown over the years, making it capable of providing more and more services to the county and communities within it.

Some of the largest grants include $20,000 awarded to the Guthrie County Hospital Foundation for hospital and clinic equipment, $15,000 went to the Stuart Fire Department for radio upgrades and $15,000 was given to the City of Coon Rapids Fire Department for airpacks. Additionally, the Guthrie County Community Foundation also received $52,000 from Grow Greene County Gaming Corporation, the non profit gaming license holder for Wild Rose Casino and Resort in Jefferson. The funds from GGCGC were part of the annual agreement to give 0.9-percent of the five-percent adjusted gross income from the casino to the six contiguous counties around Greene County.
