Foundation Invites Grant Requests From Community Organizations
The Centerville-Washington Foundation — a community foundation that began in 1998 — invites grant requests from non-profit organizations or governmental entities in the Centerville-Washington Township area for review during September.
Grant requests are reviewed two times a year — in March and September. The deadline for submitting grant applications for the Fall cycle is September 1. Grants may be used to launch new projects or to generate matching funds for projects.
The Foundation funds projects in the areas of arts and humanities, civic affairs, the environment, education, health or social services. Foundation grants have ranged between $500 and $2,500.
Over the years, the Foundation has supported many projects in the city and township. Among them are support for TJ’s Place of Hope to help provide a safe haven for adolescent and young adults to stay sober and share their stories with others their own age; travel expenses for a visiting author as part of the Washington-Centerville Public Library’s bicentennial celebration; and funds for a children’s educational program sponsored by the Centerville-Washington Park District.
Forms for grant requests are available by clicking on Grants Program above, or — or at Centerville City Hall. Forms are also available by writing to the Centerville-Washington Foundation, P. O. Box 41125, Centerville, Ohio 45441.
The Centerville-Washington Foundation exists to be a community partner for corporate and individual charitable giving, functioning in the formation and preservation of charitable donations, providing services to donors and non-profit organizations, and serving as a source of funds for community groups.
