“Grant making is at the heart of what we do,” said Neysa Meyer, PCCF Executive Director. “It’s especially exciting to see new and innovative requests from community organizations and to have an opportunity for our Board to award small grants to programs which might otherwise go unrecognized. We’re grateful for the amazing work our grantees are doing to support Putnam County residents.”
PCCF’s next competitive grants cycle will take place early in 2025 with the introduction of the new Community Impact Grants program. Details including the full program guidelines and timeline are available at pcfoundation.org/grants.
