The Community Foundation for Randolph County (CFRC) is currently accepting grant applications from qualified charitable organizations, aiming to support a broad spectrum of local needs. This grantmaking program aligns with CFRC's mission to enhance the well-being of the Randolph County community by funding initiatives in human services, education, youth development, health, food/nutrition, and arts. Grants will be disbursed from both the general community grantmaking fund and the Randolph Health Community Foundation Endowment, with the latter specifically dedicated to health-related programs serving Randolph County. The primary target beneficiaries of these grants are residents of Randolph County, particularly those served by 501(c)(3) non-profits, organizations with fiscal agents, local governments, fire and rescue departments, and religious entities engaged in social outreach and charitable services. The impact goal is to address a wide range of community challenges and improve the quality of life for local residents. The program prioritizes organizations that serve counties within CFRC's affiliate network and offer programs and services without discrimination based on age, race, national origin, ethnicity, gender, physical ability, sexual orientation, political affiliation, or religious belief. The program's focus areas are diverse, encompassing human services, education, youth development, health, food/nutrition, and arts. Within the health sector, particular emphasis is placed on programs supported by the Randolph Health Community Foundation Endowment. The foundation's strategic priority is to respond to identified local needs through a flexible and responsive grantmaking approach, empowering local organizations to implement effective solutions. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the expected outcomes include improved access to vital services, enhanced educational opportunities, increased youth engagement, better health outcomes, reduced food insecurity, and a more vibrant arts community within Randolph County. The foundation's theory of change appears to be that by strategically investing in a diverse array of community-based initiatives, it can foster a stronger, healthier, and more resilient community for all residents. Grants typically range from $500 to $2,000, providing accessible funding for a variety of projects.
