Clee K. Morrison Foundation Grant

The Clee K. Morrison Foundation, administered by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., is dedicated to supporting charitable organizations that meet the needs of underprivileged individuals residing in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. This philanthropic initiative was established by Mrs. Clee K. Morrison, a long-time resident of Mechanicsburg, PA, whose legacy continues through the foundation's focused charitable giving. The foundation honors her memory and dedication to local causes, particularly those involving the welfare of economically disadvantaged populations in her community. The primary mission of the foundation is to support organizations operating in the fields of health and human services that directly address the needs of underprivileged persons in the specified region. Eligible organizations must qualify as public charities under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and must provide services within Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Importantly, the foundation does not provide funding to individuals and strictly limits its grants to organizations operating within this geographic boundary. Applicants are required to submit their proposals through an online application form. Although applications are accepted year-round, only those submitted by June 1 are reviewed during the annual grant meeting. The foundation typically communicates funding decisions by December. On average, the foundation awards approximately two grants annually, with an average grant size of $5,000 and total annual giving near $9,000. There are no explicitly listed application questions available on the website, but applicants are advised to ensure compliance with the eligibility requirements and foundation mission before applying. The application process includes submission confirmation via email, and communications regarding decisions are provided within the same calendar year for submissions meeting the deadline. For additional information or technical support regarding the application, individuals may contact the foundation via email at grantadministration@wellsfargo.com or by phone at 1-888-235-4351.
