The Community Foundation for Greater Rome wants to help local non-profit organizations effectively seek funding – not only from the foundation itself, but from other benefactors.
Here is a reminder to Rome and Floyd County non-profits that the foundation will kick off its 8th annual grant cycle with a seminar on Tuesday, October 3rd at 9 am at the Rome-Floyd Chamber, 1 Riverside Parkway. It is open to non-profit directors, board members, grant writers, and anyone interested in the grant process, indicates Ashley Garner, Executive Director of the Community Foundation for Greater Rome, who adds that in this grant cycle, priority will be given to non-profits that are willing to collaborate.
Two grants will be issued this year. Those include the Greater Rome Impact Grant Fund, made possible by donors who direct the Foundation to give to the areas of greatest need in Rome and Floyd County, and the First Christian Church Heritage Fund, which was established in the sale of the historic First Christian Church property.
Guidelines for this year’s grant cycle are online at www.cffgr.org, according to Garner, who hopes that by experiencing the foundation’s grant process, non-profits will be poised to also seek funding from other sources.
The deadline for both grants from the Community Foundation for Greater Rome is Tuesday, October 31, 2023.
Grants totaling at least $25,000 will be awarded from the Greater Rome Impact Fund. There will be one $3,000 grant from the First Christian Church Heritage Fund.
