The Perry County Community Foundation (PCCF) Grant offers up to $3,500 to support nonprofit organizations working to improve the quality of life for Perry County residents. Part of The Foundation for Enhancing Communities (TFEC), PCCF seeks projects that align with its mission and address needs in Arts & Culture, Community Development, Education, Environment, or Health & Human Services. Special consideration is given to projects focusing on substance abuse prevention, mental health services, youth programs, and early childhood education access.
To be eligible, projects must serve Perry County residents, and applicants must be a 501(c)(3) organization or have a fiscal sponsor with 501(c)(3) status. Applicants are encouraged to design programs that have measurable impacts, sustainable plans, and a model that could be replicated. Attendance at PCCF’s Annual Grant Presentation Program in spring 2025 is requested for awardees.
